Nautica Lauryl Glucoside is a mild, non-ionic surfactant used in cosmetic formulations for gentle cleansing and foam support. It is commonly chosen for shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, bubble baths, and other rinse-off products where a softer cleansing profile is preferred. Because it is a formulation ingredient rather than a finished product, it is intended to be blended into suitable recipes rather than used on its own as supplied. It may appear slightly hazy, which is normal for this raw material.
♡ Why we love it: Lauryl Glucoside is a useful go-to surfactant for formulators who want a gentler cleansing option with good foam and broad versatility. It works across a wide range of personal care products and is especially handy when building milder, more natural-leaning cleansing systems.

Lauryl glucoside works exceptionally well in all of my shampoo, body wash and bubble bath formulas - highly recommended! My kilo tub has also lasted very long, so this works well cost-wise which is a plus!
