Lauryl Glucoside - Liquid Surfactant (Small bubbles)

Wat is Lauryl Glucoside?

Lauryl Glucoside is a surfactant that is often used in skin and hair care products such as shampoos, body wash, and facial cleansers. It is made by combining natural sugars with fatty alcohols from coconut or palm oil. This process, known as glucosidation, creates a mild, non-ionic surfactant.

Thanks to its mild and non-irritating properties, Lauryl Glucoside is ideal for people with sensitive skin. It doesn't lather strongly on its own, but when combined with other cleaners, it enhances foaming and cleaning effectiveness, making it a versatile ingredient. 

What are the benefits of Lauryl Glucoside?

Gentle cleansing of the skin and hair
Lauryl Glucoside gently cleanses the skin and hair without disturbing the natural balance of the skin barrier. It preserves the skin's natural oils, which helps to keep it hydrated. This makes it ideal for dry or sensitive skin types, or baby and children's skin.

Reinforced foaming and thicker texture
Although it produces little foam itself, Lauryl Glucoside enhances the foaming action of other cleansers. In addition, it gives products a thicker, luxurious texture.

How to use Lauryl Glucoside?

Lauryl Glucoside is easy to use and can be used in a variety of skin and hair care product recipes.

Add Lauryl Glucoside to the water phase of the recipe. The recommended dosage is 2 - 35%, depending on the product:

• 5-15% in gezichtsreinigers of bodywash
• 10-25% in shampoos

Lauryl Glucoside has a pH value of 11-12. Adjust the pH in the final formulation to make it skin-friendly.

What Makes Lauryl Glucoside So Special?

Lauryl Glucoside is environmentally friendly and breaks down completely biologically, which makes it a good choice for making natural products.
