Lauryl glucoside is a non-ionic surfactant of plant origin that cleans, foams, and helps incorporate oily components into water-based preparations. It is produced from the fatty alcohol of coconut and palm oil and from glucose derived from maize or wheat. It belongs to the group of alkyl polyglucosides , surfactants used in sulfate-free cleansing products. It is suitable for rinse-off and leave-on products and, according to manufacturer data, is appropriate for children's and sensitive skin . It remains functional over a wide pH range, which is why it is used in shower gels, liquid soaps, intimate hygiene products, and household cleaners.

Solubiliser – with an HLB value of 13 , it helps incorporate small amounts of oils, essential oils, or fragrance compositions into water-based preparations without separation. Co-emulsifier – in emulsions, it complements the primary emulsifier and supports system stability. Non-ionic character – compatible with anionic, amphoteric, cationic, and non-ionic surfactants, with electrolytes, and with acidic, neutral, and alkaline pH.
