Is lauryl glucoside made from coconut?
Lauryl glucoside is a mild foaming cleanser made by joining lauryl alcohol to glucose. The lauryl alcohol comes from coconut oil or palm kernel oil, and the label does not say which.
It is used in shampoos, body washes and facial cleansers, usually alongside other mild cleansers.
More often than not, this one turns out to be coconut or palm kernel, so it holds a product’s verdict open on its own.
