Description

Lauryl glucoside (CAS 59122-55-3 ) is a non-ionic alkyl polyglucoside surfactant derived from glucose and fatty alcohols. It delivers effective foaming, emulsification, and mild cleansing performance across personal care and household cleaning formulations. In rinse-off personal care products such as shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers, it functions as a primary or co-surfactant. It generates dense, stable foam while maintaining compatibility with sensitive skin formulations. Formulators in the baby care segment rely on it to replace harsher sulfate-based surfactants without sacrificing lather or rinse-off clarity. It provides a gentle alternative that meets modern consumer demands for mildness. In household and institutional cleaning products, it contributes degreasing and soil dispersion in surface cleaners and dishwashing liquids. It is also highly effective in all-purpose concentrates and industrial detergents. Its compatibility with a broad range of co-surfactants and active ingredients makes it a practical choice for natural product lines. This is especially useful where ingredient restrictions limit formulation options for chemists. The material is typically supplied as a clear to slightly hazy aqueous solution, with active matter content commonly ranging from 50% to 70%. It is available in cosmetic-grade and technical-grade specifications for various uses. Bulk supply is standard in drums and IBCs, with some suppliers offering diluted grades for direct-use applications. This ensures flexibility for both large-scale manufacturing and specialized industrial cleaning needs. Contact us for supply of Lauryl glucoside Request Quote
