Lauryl glucoside Usage And Synthesis

Description

Lauryl glucoside is a surfactant and cleansing agent used in cosmetics. It is a glycoside produced from glucose and lauryl alcohol. See glucose. Decyl glucoside and Octyl glucoside are similar products used in cosmetics.Also known as: D-glucopyranoside, Dodecyl; Dodecyl D-Glucopyranoside; Dodecyl-Glucoside; Lauryl D-Glucopyranoside.

Uses

lauryl glucoside is a mild surfactant.
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.
Lauryl glucoside is biodegradable.

Application

Lauryl glucoside is not only used as surfactant in personal care products, but also can be used as raw material for organic synthesis by reacting with maleic anhydride and then sulfonating with sodium sulfite to synthesise AG-SS. In addition, Lauryl glucoside is used as cement air-entraining agent to accelerate the hydration reaction, so as to make the distribution of small air holes in the cement slurry uniformly, and thus to greatly improve the compressive strength of the cement slurry.

Side effects

At the moment, there are no known risks or side effects of lauryl glucoside to the skin. However, it's highly recommended that you do a patch test before using any lauryl glucoside products if you feel concerned.
It should be noted, though, that pregnant and/or nursing women, as well as the ones with sensitivity and/or allergy to the ingredient lauryl glucoside, is made of (namely palm kernel oil, coconut, or corn sugar) should not use it to avoid any unwanted reaction.
In any case, the ingredient should never be used near the nose, ears, and eyes or even swallowing it. Potential effects of such exposure include irritation to the said sensitive area and dizziness, drowsiness, and headaches.

Safety

Lauryl glucoside is considered quite safe for your skin as it is a very mild surfactant, that poses little or no risk of irritation. In fact that is why it is included in skin care products meant to be used for sensitive skin.
A number of agencies such as the Safe Cosmetics Database, GoodGuide database, EcoCert and the Organic Food Federation consider lauryl glucoside as a safe ingredient. It is even included in the CIR list of safe ingredients for cosmetics.
10 to 20% lauryl glucoside can be used in facial cleansers while 15 to 30% in shampoos and body washes. A maximum of 40% of lauryl glucoside is permitted for use in any product.
