Lauryl glucoside belongs to a class of ingredients called “glucosides” which are made by bonding the base group with sugar (instead of sulfuric acid). Lauryl glucoside is an non-ionic surfactant that can be used as a foaming agent, conditioner or emulsifier.

To make  lauryl glucoside, lauryl alcohol—an essential fatty acid derived from coconut—is combined with glucose to produce lauryl glucoside, a mild, gentle cleanser that doesn’t dry skin or strip it of it’s natural oil.

Ideal for use in facial cleansers and hair care products, it’s listed on the Safe Cosmetics Database and the GoodGuide database as being extremely safe. In addition, it’s approved for use in certified organic cosmetics by both the Organic Food Federation and EcoCert.

Reactions to African Black Soap

Although these are very rare, it is good to know in case you are that one in a million.

• If you are latex-allergic you could have latex fruit syndrome and could have a reaction to the plantain ash in black soap, as well as palm and coconut oil.
• If you have a chocolate allergy or are sensitive to caffeine, also be aware that there could be a high concentration of cocoa pods (which make the ash) used in the soap.
• If you break out in a rash or contact dermatitis discontinue use and consult your dermatologist.
