Lauryl Glucoside (Lauryl Glucoside)

Lauryl Glucoside is a mild, non-ionic surfactant typically derived from renewable plant feedstocks (glucose-derived sugars and fatty alcohols) and used in cosmetic formulations for gentle cleansing, foam boosting, and improved rinse feel. With a rich, creamy lather profile, it is often selected to help reduce the perceived harshness of primary surfactants and to support “sulfate-free” or sensitive-skin concepts. As part of a surfactant blend, it can aid viscosity build, enhance solubilization of oily soils, and contribute to a smoother, more conditioned after-feel when properly balanced. Lauryl Glucoside is commonly found in facial and body cleansers, shampoos, shower gels, hand washes, baby products, and scalp-focused formats, and may also assist emulsification in certain systems. Use level and performance are formulation-dependent and typically optimized with pH, electrolyte content, and the overall surfactant package to achieve the desired clarity, foam quality, and mildness.
