  • CAS 110615-47-9
  • IUPAC: D-Glucopyranose, oligomers, C10-16-alkyl glycosides

Lauryl Glucoside (CAS 110615-47-9) appears in 1 of the 1,812 car-care products CarCareTruth tracks (as of June 2026). It is on the EPA Safer Choice list.

Among the mildest commercial surfactants. No GHS classification at typical use concentrations. Minimal eye and skin irritation potential; frequently used in baby and sensitive-skin formulations.

Lauryl glucoside is a plant-derived alkyl polyglucoside (APG) surfactant closely related to decyl glucoside, produced from glucose and C10–16 fatty alcohols (including lauryl alcohol, C12). Like other APG surfactants, it is considered one of the more environmentally benign and skin-compatible surfactant families available. It provides gentle foaming and cleaning action and appears frequently in EPA Safer Choice–certified formulations and in products marketed for sensitive skin or low-irritation use.
