Lauryl Glucoside (AC 1200) is a very mild, non-ionic surfactant used to create gentle, sulphate-free cleansing products. It is made from plant-derived fatty alcohols and glucose and produces a soft, creamy foam with a comfortable skin feel. Supplied as a viscous liquid with high active matter, it is commonly used as a primary or secondary cleanser in face, body, and hair formulas.

Safety Instructions For external use only and do not ingest Do not use neat on skin, always dilute within a finished product Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes, rinse well with clean water if contact occurs Patch test the finished product before first use and discontinue if irritation occurs Keep out of reach of children and pets Store tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from light and use clean utensils to avoid contamination FAQs Q: Why is the supplied pH so high?A: Many surfactants are supplied alkaline for stability, but the final formulation should be adjusted to a skin-friendly pH.

Q: Will adding salt thicken it like other surfactants?A: Lauryl glucoside has a limited salt response, so viscosity is usually improved by blending with amphoterics or using suitable thickeners. Q: Can I use this on its own as a cleanser?A: It is a raw surfactant intended for formulating, it should be diluted and balanced within a complete formula for best comfort and performance.
