“…Alkyl glucosides have cleansing, foaming and emulsifying properties. Since the 1990s, they have been used in both rinse‐off products, for example, shower gels, shampoos, soaps, cleansers, and hair dyes, and leave‐on cosmetics, for example, sunscreens, fragrances, tanning products, emollients, and deodorants . They can also be found in certain baby products such as wipes and cleansers .…”

Background Alkyl glucosides contitute a family of mild surfactants that are increasingly being used in a wide range of cosmetics and household products. Contact allergy to alkyl glucosides may be more frequent than previously suspected, especially in atopic patients. Objectives To investigate the frequency of contact allergy to alkyl glucosides, and to identify concomitant reactivity. Method We retrospectively reviewed all cases of suspected allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) in which patients were patch tested with either a cosmetic series that includes five alkyl glucosides (decyl glucoside, lauryl glucoside, coco glucoside, cetearyl glucoside, and caprylyl/capryl glucoside) or a specific alkyl glucoside series from November 2013 to April 2017 in two UK centres. Results A total of 5775 patients were patch tested across the two centres. Twenty‐nine (1.04%) of the 2796 patients tested with the cosmetic/alkyl glucoside series had a positive patch test reaction to at least one of the alkyl glucosides. Twenty‐three (79.3%) patients were sensitized to multiple alkyl glucosides; 21 patients (72.4%) were female. The mean age was 43.5 years. Twelve patients (41.4%) had a background of atopic dermatitis. Conclusions The prevalence of alkyl glucoside‐induced ACD is relatively high, and there are frequent concomitant reactions between different alkyl glucosides. We recommend the inclusion of alkyl glucosides in all cosmetic series.

“…Alkyl glucosides are surfactants synthesized through the condensation of fatty alcohols with glucose from renewable plant sources. They include 19 chemically related compounds . Because of their biodegradability and eco‐friendly features, they are extensively used in cosmetics, both rinse‐off products (eg, shampoos, soaps, cleansers, and hair dyes), and, since the 1990s, also leave‐on products (eg, lotions, creams, fragrances, sunscreens, and tanning products).…”

Furthermore, they are found in surgical disinfectants and antimicrobial foam dressings, food, industrial agents, and household products . They are considered to be non‐irritant in the concentrations used in cosmetics, and not sensitizing according to the guinea‐pig maximization test; however, local lymph node assays have identified some sensitization potential of C12‐C18, C14 and C18 branched glucosides .…”

Purpose of Review This article aims to summarize some recent trends in occupational allergic contact dermatitis (ACD), including dermatitis related to pandemic-level personal protective equipment in healthcare workers, hazards patients may experience when working from home, and occupational perspectives on the recent American Contact Dermatitis Society (ACDS) allergens of the year and ACDS Core Allergen Series updates. Recent Findings Recent ACDS Allergens of the Year may be particularly relevant to healthcare workers, including isobornyl acrylate, which is present in glucose sensors and propylene glycol present in hand cleansers and disinfectants. Lavender, limonene, and linalool, all of which are new additions to the ACDS Core Allergen Series, have been reported as causes for occupational ACD in massage therapists and aromatherapists. Isothiazolinone allergy continues to rise in both consumer and occupational settings. Finally, the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a wave of occupational ACD in healthcare workers to personal protective equipment, and revealed new potential allergens for individuals working from home. Summary Occupational allergic contact dermatitis continues to exert a significant occupational disease burden. Remaining aware of the current trends in allergens may allow for earlier recognition, diagnosis, and treatment, subsequently helping our patients to work in healthier and safer environments.
