Lauryl Glucoside is a high-performance alkyl polyglucoside (APG) surfactant synthesized through the reaction of glucose with lauryl alcohol derived from natural coconut or palm kernel oil. As a 100% biodegradable and non-toxic agent, it represents the gold standard in sustainable chemistry, offering a renewable alternative to synthetic surfactants without compromising on efficacy.
Engineered for exceptional mildness, Lauryl Glucoside is specifically designed to enhance the performance of other surfactants while significantly reducing skin irritation. Its superior versatility makes it an indispensable ingredient in advanced cosmetic, personal care, and industrial cleaning formulations where safety, sustainability, and gentle cleansing are paramount.

Frequently Asked Questions
Unlike many synthetic surfactants, Lauryl Glucoside is derived from glucose and natural oils, making it 100% biodegradable and significantly milder on the skin, which is critical for baby and sensitive skin products.
It should be added to the aqueous phase of your formulation. We recommend a usage level between 1% and 10%, depending on whether you prioritize cleansing power or a gentler foaming effect.
Yes, it is highly compatible with most surfactants. It is often used in blends to reduce the overall irritation potential of a formula while improving the overall texture and foam quality.
It is widely used in the manufacture of sulfate-free shampoos, baby washes, facial cleansers, dishwashing liquids, and general surface cleaners due to its low toxicity.
We offer various packaging options including 25 kg plastic drums, 200 kg HDPE barrels, and 1000 kg IBC totes to suit different scale requirements. Custom packaging is also available.
To maintain product integrity, store it in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight. Ensure the container is tightly sealed after every use to prevent contamination.
