INCI: Lauryl glucoside

Essentially Natural Lauryl Glucoside (AC 1200) is a very mild, non-ionic surfactant made from plant-derived fatty alcohols and glucose. It provides gentle cleansing with a soft foam and is well suited to face, body and hair formulas, including blends for sensitive or baby-focused concepts. It is supplied as a viscous liquid with high active matter and excellent biodegradability. Use it as a primary or secondary cleanser to boost mildness and improve skin feel in sulphate-free systems.

♡ Why we love it: Reliable, gentle and easy to formulate with, lauryl glucoside lifts away impurities without leaving skin tight. It plays nicely with other surfactants and helps you build mild, everyday cleansers for the whole family.

Sizes: 100g, 200g, 500g, 1kg or 5kg.

Also available in Sample Sizes.
