Lauryl Glucoside – 100g

Lauryl Glucoside – 100g – Mild Non-Ionic Surfactant – Mild Cleansing & Rich Foam – Mild Surfactant & Powerful Cleansing.

Quick Overview

Lauryl Glucoside is a mild, non-ionic surfactant derived from renewable plant-based raw materials. It is widely used in gentle cleansing formulations because of its excellent cleansing performance, skin compatibility, and ability to produce a rich, creamy foam.

It is suitable for shampoos, facial cleansers, body washes, hand washes, shower gels, and other sulfate-free personal-care formulations. Lauryl Glucoside can also be combined with other surfactants to create balanced cleansing systems with improved foam and mildness.

Description

Lauryl Glucoside is an alkyl polyglucoside (APG) surfactant produced from fatty alcohols and glucose-derived raw materials. As a non-ionic surfactant, it works effectively across a broad range of formulations and is compatible with anionic, amphoteric, and other non-ionic surfactants.

Its mild cleansing profile makes it particularly useful in formulations designed for gentle skin and hair cleansing. It contributes to rich foam, good cleansing, and a pleasant after-feel while helping formulators develop sulfate-free cleansing products.

Lauryl Glucoside is commonly used as a primary or co-surfactant in natural-positioned and mild cleansing formulations.

Key Functions

• Mild cleansing surfactant
• Non-ionic surfactant
• Produces rich, creamy foam
• Helps remove oil, dirt, and impurities
• Supports sulfate-free cleansing systems
• Improves cleansing performance when combined with other surfactants
• Suitable for skin and hair cleansing formulations
• Compatible with a wide range of surfactant systems

Technical Data

Note: Lauryl Glucoside is commonly supplied as an aqueous surfactant blend, so appearance, active matter, viscosity, and pH can vary depending on the supplier and commercial grade.

Recommended Usage

Typical usage levels vary according to the formulation and the surfactant system:

• Shampoos: approximately 5–20%
• Facial Cleansers: approximately 5–15%
• Body Washes & Shower Gels: approximately 5–20%
• Hand Washes: approximately 5–20%
• Gentle Cleansing Products: approximately 5–15%

For accurate formulation, adjust the percentage according to the active matter of the specific Lauryl Glucoside grade and the desired cleansing and foam characteristics.

Formulation Tip

Lauryl Glucoside can be combined with amphoteric surfactants such as Cocamidopropyl Betaine and other compatible surfactants to create a balanced cleansing system. Adding it gradually during formulation can help minimize excessive aeration and facilitate better control over foam and viscosity.

Because Lauryl Glucoside can influence viscosity and final product texture, the finished formulation should be adjusted for pH, viscosity, foam, and overall sensory properties.

Safety & Precautions

• For cosmetic and personal-care formulation use.
• Avoid direct contact with eyes.
• Handle according to good laboratory and manufacturing practices.
• Keep container tightly closed when not in use.
• Store in a cool, dry place away from excessive heat and direct sunlight.
• Always evaluate the finished formulation for stability, safety, and compatibility before commercial use.

Why Choose Lauryl Glucoside?

Lauryl Glucoside is a versatile mild non-ionic surfactant for formulators looking to develop gentle cleansing products. Its combination of cleansing ability, rich foam, broad surfactant compatibility, and plant-derived origin makes it useful across a wide range of hair, skin, and personal-care formulations.
