Product Description

Mild Non-Ionic Surfactant for Sulfate-Free Cleansing Formulations

Lauryl Glucoside is a mild, non-ionic surfactant belonging to the Alkyl Polyglucoside (APG) family. It is commonly used in shampoos, face washes, body washes, hand washes and other gentle cleansing formulations.

It provides cleansing and foam and is particularly useful for formulating sulfate-free surfactant systems.

Lauryl Glucoside is commonly manufactured from glucose and fatty alcohol feedstocks and can be combined with other compatible surfactants such as CAPB and Coco Glucoside to create balanced cleansing systems.

This grade contains approximately 50% active matter, subject to the actual supplier specification.

Suitable for:
Sulfate-Free Shampoo • Face Wash • Body Wash • Hand Wash • Shower Gel • Gentle Cleansers • Personal Care Formulations • DIY Cosmetics

Safety Information

For cosmetic and formulation use only.

Do not ingest.

Concentrated Lauryl Glucoside is a raw surfactant and should not be used directly as a finished shampoo, face wash or body wash.

Avoid direct contact of concentrated material with eyes. Surfactant concentrates can cause significant eye irritation.

In case of eye contact, rinse cautiously and thoroughly with clean water.

Avoid unnecessary prolonged contact with concentrated raw material.

Use appropriate protective gloves and eye protection during bulk handling and formulation.

Avoid generating or inhaling mist.

Clean spills promptly, as surfactant solutions can make floors slippery.

Keep out of reach of children.

Keep the container tightly closed and protect from contamination.

Store in a cool, dry place protected from direct sunlight, excessive heat and incompatible materials.

The safety and mildness of the finished product depend on its complete formulation, surfactant concentration, pH and intended use.
