Description
Mounir Yaâkoubi, Norbertus A Ipenburg, Anton C de Groot, and Thomas Rustemeyer published a 2026 survey of alkyl glucosides in cosmetics sold in the Netherlands. These mild cleansers and emulsifiers, made from glucose and fatty alcohols, are increasingly tied to contact allergy, with positive patch tests reported in Europe and North America. Data on their presence in products came mostly from the United States, so the team checked ingredient lists at the largest Dutch online retailer.
They examined 350 leave-on and 300 rinse-off products. About a quarter of sunscreens and a fifth of day creams contained at least one alkyl glucoside, while only one of fifty lip salves did. Across leave-on products the share was 16.9 percent in the reported count, giving clinicians local exposure figures.
