APG1214 is compatible with different types of surfactants and it's very suitable for high end home care products like laundry liquid detergent. Most famous brands are using APG1214 in the formula to replace SLES 70% to cater to consumer's demand, that is, less irritation to hands.
Lauryl glucoside, also known as APG 1214, is a mild nonionic surfactant derived entirely from vegetable sources, using fatty alcohol and glucose as its primary raw materials. This eco-friendly surface active agent is renowned for its gentle nature and excellent performance, making it a popular choice in both personal care and home care applications.
APG 1214 offers exceptional foaming and cleaning abilities while maintaining a low irritation profile, especially for sensitive skin. It is highly compatible with various ingredients and surfactants, allowing seamless integration into different formulations. This versatility makes it suitable for a wide range of products, including shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, and laundry detergents.
One of the key advantages of APG 1214 is its biodegradability and sustainability. As a completely plant-based surfactant, it aligns with the growing consumer demand for eco-friendly and bio-compatible products. It is particularly well-suited for high-end personal care products and household cleaning solutions, where consumers seek effective yet gentle and environmentally responsible options.
APG 1214 is also known for its excellent stability in high concentrations of acids, bases, and electrolytes, making it ideal for industrial cleaning applications. Additionally, its non-irritating and non-toxic nature makes it suitable for products targeting sensitive skin and even for use in infant care formulations.
