2. The cement composition of claim 1 , wherein the alkyl polyglycoside derivative is derived from an alkyl polyglucoside having a chemical structure:

wherein n for the alkyl is 8 or greater, and
wherein m for the polyglucoside is 2 or greater.

3. The cement composition of claim 2 , wherein n is in the range of 8 to 24.

4. The cement composition of claim 2 , wherein m is in the range of 2 to 20.

5. The cement composition of claim 1 , wherein the sulfonate comprises a hydroxyalkylsulfonate.

6. The cement composition of claim 5 , wherein the hydroxylalkylsulfonate comprises a short-chain alkyl groups having in the range of 1 to 6 carbons.

7. The cement composition of claim 1 , wherein the inorganic salt of the alkyl polyglycoside derivative is selected from the group consisting of: an alkali metal, an alkaline earth metal, and an ammonium salts.

8. The cement composition of claim 1 , wherein the alkyl polyglycoside derivative comprises a decyl polyglucoside hydroxypropylsulfonate sodium salt.

9. The cement composition of claim 1 , wherein the alkyl polyglycoside derivative is present in the cement composition in an amount from about 0.1% bwoc to about 0.5% bwoc.
