Sodium Lauryl Glucose Carboxylate is a mild, glucose-derived anionic surfactant used in cleansers and personal care products to provide gentle cleansing, foaming, and emulsifying properties. It is often combined with Lauryl Glucoside in commercial blends and is considered low-irritant compared to traditional sulfate surfactants.
| Reported effect | How often | Notes |
|---|---|---|
Mild skin irritation or dryness | Uncommon | Possible with high concentrations or prolonged contact, though generally well tolerated. |
Allergic contact dermatitis | Rare | Sensitization has been linked mainly to the co-ingredient Lauryl Glucoside rather than the carboxylate itself. |
Eye irritation | Uncommon | Can occur on direct contact in rinse-off products like shampoos or facial washes. |
