Lauryl polyglucose

Harm score: 2 (Derivatives of natural substances)

Lauryl Polyglucose, also known as L-Proline 5-oxodododecyl ester, is an ingredient in a wide range of cosmetic and hygiene products. This chemical is primarily used as a natural emulsifier and surfactant, or surfactant. Due to its properties, it is able to reduce surface tension, making it easier to mix immiscible liquids such as water and oil. Whenever you apply shampoo or body lotion in the shower, for example, it is very likely that Lauryl Polyglucose is present.

Lauryl Polyglucose is often included in shampoos, shower gels, body lotions and other body care products. However, it can also be found in facial cleansers or makeup removal products. In addition, it can also appear in some toothpastes. As it is a natural substance, it is gentle on the skin and teeth and is therefore suitable for people with sensitive skin or those who suffer from allergies to chemical ingredients. As a result of its soft but effective washing properties, Lauryl Polyglucose provides a gentle cleaning that is ideal for everyday use.
