Is Lauryl Glucoside Natural?

Q: Is Lauryl Glucoside natural?

Lauryl Glucoside has a Natural Origin Index (NOI) of 1.00 (scale 0–1) per ISO 16128. Lauryl glucoside is synthesized from lauryl alcohol, which is predominantly derived from coconut or palm kernel oil, and glucose, which is derived from starch (e.g., corn, wheat… An NOI of 1.00 means 100% of its molecular mass is traceable to a natural, renewable source.

Primary FeedstockThe primary feedstocks for Lauryl Glucoside are lauryl alcohol and glucose. Lauryl alcohol is typically sourced from the fatty acids of coconut oil or palm kernel oil, both of which are renewable plant-based resources. Glucose is obtained from the hydrolysis of starch, commonly derived from corn, wheat, or potatoes, also a renewable source.
