Lauryl glucoside

Lauryl glucoside is a surfactant used in cosmetics and laundry detergents. It is a glycoside produced from glucose and lauryl alcohol.

Lauryl glucoside is a non-ionic surfactant and member of the alkyl glucoside family (e.g., coco glucoside, decyl glucoside), which are substances formed by mixing alcohol, sugar, and glucose.

Lauryl glucoside is a non-ionic surfactant that can be used as a foaming agent, conditioner, or emulsifier.

Lauryl glucoside has the best foaming capacity of glucosides and good dermatological compatibility. 

Therefore it is suitable for use as a base surfactant or a co-surfactant in cosmetic surfactant cleansing preparations.

We recommend adding 5% Lauryl glucoside to your glucoside-based surfactant formulation to boost foam.

Lauryl glucoside aids the viscosity build-up of your final product.

Lauryl glucoside is usually sustainably sourced from palm kernel oil, corn sugar, or coconut.

Lauryl glucoside is part of the alkyl glycoside family (APG’s) and is made from renewable, sustainable raw materials which biodegrade readily.

Lauryl glucoside improves the cleansing process without stripping necessary moisture.

Lauryl glucoside is a plant-based surfactant that usually appears as a clear liquid with a mild, sweet, fatty aroma and is found in many cleaning products, soaps, and cleansers. 

Our cosmetic customers use this ingredient in some of our personal care and cleaning products for its gentle but effective cleansing properties and general compatibility with sensitive skin.

Lauryl glucoside creates an excellent and stable foam. Lauryl glucoside is useful in hair care products where it aids hair cleaning abilities without stripping the hair.

Lauryl glucoside can be used alongside other glucosides to enhance the foam and skin conditioning properties. Lauryl glucoside is very effective when used in ionic formulations to add foam depth and emulsifying properties.

Lauryl glucoside is very useful for Bath Foams, Shower Gel and Shampoo where you wish to increase the foaming ability of the product without a decrease in the natural formulation.

Lauryl glucoside is biodegradable.

Lauryl glucoside is often used as a cleansing agent and surfactant in cosmetics, including makeup primers, eye makeup removers, BB creams, and eye creams.

As a surfactant and cleansing agent, lauryl glucoside breaks the surface tension, lifting dirt and oil and washing away more quickly.

• Lauryl glucoside creates an excellent and stable foam.

• Lauryl glucoside can be used alongside other glucosides to enhance the foam and skin conditioning properties. 

You just need to add 5% of lauryl glucoside to your glucoside-based surfactant formulation to boost foam.

Surfactant

Lauryl glucoside is considered quite safe for the skin as it is a very mild surfactant, that poses little or no risk of irritation and is therefore used for sensitive skin. 

A number of agencies such as the Safe Cosmetics Database, GoodGuide database, EcoCert, and the Organic Food Federation consider lauryl glucoside as a safe ingredient. 

Lauryl glucoside is even included in the CIR list of safe ingredients for cosmetics. 

10 to 20% lauryl glucoside can be used in facial cleansers while 15 to 30% in shampoos and body washes. 

A maximum of 40% of lauryl glucoside is permitted for use in any product.
