Combining sodium laureth sulfate (SLES), cocamidopropyl betaine (CAPB), and lauryl glucoside creates a shampoo surfactant chassis with stronger mildness positioning than SLES-only or SLES–CAPB systems alone. Lauryl glucoside is a mild nonionic APG co-surfactant that reduces irritation, supports sulfate-reduced claims, and maintains acceptable foam when paired with betaine. Venus supports this blend through amphoteric, anionic, and nonionic surfactant ingredients.

Lauryl glucoside improves mildness and supports sulfate-reduced positioning while maintaining foam when used with CAPB. Typical use is 2–5% active alongside reduced SLES (6–10%) and 4–6% CAPB.

Yes. APG glucosides and betaines are commonly co-formulated in mild shampoos and facial cleansers. Both are compatible with anionic primaries at personal care pH.
