Compendium of the most significant studies with reference to properties, intake, effects.

House KL, Hao Z, Liu Y, Pan L, O'Carroll DM, Xu S. The integrity of synthetic magnesium silicate in charged compounds. Sci Rep. 2021 Dec 9;11(1):23717. doi: 10.1038/s41598-021-02930-8.

Abstract. The compounds chosen for this study were positively charged cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC), neutral lauryl glucoside, and negatively charged sodium cocoyl glutamate and sodium cocoyl glycinate since these are common compounds used in personal care and oral care formulations. 

Morita T, Kitagawa M, Yamamoto S, Sogabe A, Imura T, Fukuoka T, Kitamoto D. Glycolipid biosurfactants, mannosylerythritol lipids, repair the damaged hair. J Oleo Sci. 2010;59(5):267-72. doi: 10.5650/jos.59.267.

Abstract. The tensile strength of the damaged hair increased by treatment with MEL-A (122.0 +/- 13.5 gf/p), MEL-B (119.4 +/- 7.6 gf/p) and ceramide (100.7 +/- 15.9 gf/p) compared with only lauryl glucoside (96.7 +/- 12.7 gf/p), indicating the advantage of MELs on hair care treatment.

Savic SM, Cekic ND, Savic SR, Ilic TM, Savic SD. 'All-natural' anti-wrinkle emulsion serum with Acmella oleracea extract: A design of experiments (DoE) formulation approach, rheology and in vivo skin performance/efficacy evaluation. Int J Cosmet Sci. 2021 Oct;43(5):530-546. doi: 10.1111/ics.12726.

Abstract. Accordingly, this paper describes design and evaluation of novel, safe, effective and high-quality emulsion serums, completely based on ingredients of natural origin, intended for improving facial fine lines and wrinkles.

Sabah K, Heidelberg T, Hashim R. Novel crown ethers on glucose based glycolipids. Carbohydr Res. 2011 May 15;346(7):891-6. doi: 10.1016/j.carres.2011.03.002.

Abstract. A series of crown ethers involving lauryl glucoside were synthesized and their assembly behavior in water was studied. The synthesis applied a simple protection scheme based on benzylidenation for the glycolipid, and cation templating for the macrocycle.
