Lauryl Glucoside

LAURYL GLUCOSIDE

Lauryl Glucoside is a high-performance, plant-derived non-ionic surfactant valued for its exceptional mildness and rich, stable foam. Produced by combining glucose from natural sugars with fatty alcohols, it belongs to the Alkyl Polyglucoside (APG) family - a group of biodegradable surfactants known for their gentle yet effective cleansing systems. 

Celebrated for its ultra-mild cleansing profile, Lauryl Glucoside delivers a dense, creamy lather while maintaining skin comfort and barrier integrity. It performs beautifully as both a primary and co-surfactant, enhancing foam volume, improving viscosity in difficult-to-thicken formulations, and supporting overall formulation stability. Its non-ionic nature makes it highly compatible with other surfactants, helping to boost foam depth and conditioning properties in shampoos, shower gels, facial cleansers and baby care products without stripping skin or hair. 

100% derived from renewable plant-based feedstocks and readily biodegradable, Lauryl Glucoside aligns with modern clean-beauty and eco-conscious formulations. Cold-processable and suitable for a wide range of rinse-off and leave-on systems, it offers formulators a versatile, sustainable solution for creating gentle yet high-performing cleansing products.
