Lauryl Glucoside

Lauryl Glucoside is a mild, non-ionic surfactant synthesized from lauryl alcohol (derived from coconut or palm kernel oil) and glucose from plant starches through a process called glucosidation. Formulators favor it for its exceptional gentleness on skin and eyes, making it ideal for baby products, facial cleansers, and sensitive skin formulations, while still providing effective cleansing and stable foam. Its excellent dermatological profile, combined with ready biodegradability and renewable plant origins, has made it a cornerstone ingredient in natural and eco-certified cosmetic formulations.
