Description

Description Lauryl glucoside is a viscous yellow substance derived from palm kernel oil, corn sugar, or coconut. The ingredient is also a type of alkyl glucoside, which is a substance formed by mixing alcohols and sugar or glucose. A 100% vegetable origin, biodegradable, mild cleansing agent that gives moderate to high amount of foam. It's happy to work together with other surfactants (in general, that helps to create milder formulas). Lauryl glucoside creates an excellent and stable foam. Lauryl glucoside is useful in hair care products where it aids hair cleaning abilities without stripping the hair. Lauryl glucoside can be used alongside other glucosides to enhance the foam and skin conditioning properties. Lauryl glucoside is very effective when used in ionic formulations to add foam depth and emulsifying properties. Lauryl glucoside is very useful for Bath Foams, Shower Gel and Shampoo where you wish to increase the foaming ability of the product without a decrease in the natural formulation. FORMULATING TIPS Can be used over a broad pH range Recommended use level is 15-40% as a primary surfactant and 3-15% as a secondary surfactant. Use as a primary surfactant to make ultra-mild cleansers. Use as a secondary surfactant to reduce irritation potential of formulations. Commercial production of lauryl glucoside and other alkyl polyglucosides generally starts by mixing palm, corn, or coconut alcohol with some kind of sugar, glucose, or glucose polymer under acidic conditions. Alkyl glucoside production first began in 1893 by reacting glucose with anhydrous ethanol to produce ethyl glucoside.
