LAUCOSOL GSB is a concentrated surfactant blend for rinse-off cosmetics. It combines an amphoteric betaine, non-ionic glucosides and anionic Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate. The catalogue INCI also includes glycerin. The manufacturer describes the ingredient as a sulphate-free base suitable for sulphate-free cleansing formulations.
Its liquid, pumpable form facilitates dosing and incorporation. Cold processability allows the cleansing system to be prepared without heating the base itself. LAUCOSOL GSB provides a starting point for selecting viscosity modifiers, care ingredients, fragrance and a suitable preservative system.
