PPG-2 Hydroxyethyl Coco/Isostearamide is an active liquid surfactant that replaces DEA-alkanolamides. It provides excellent foam stabilization and fragrance solubilization in formulations.
Emulsifier
Emulsifiers are the workhorses of the cosmetic industry. They are responsible for consistency and stability but also influence important sensory and dermatologic properties of modern skin care formulations. They offer broad emollient compatibility with efficient oil emulsification and high emulsion stability.
Emulsions that spread well and have an excellent skin feel are easily formulated. Combinations of these emulsifiers are also shown to offer additional dermatological values, such as skin-firming and smoothing properties and anti-wrinkling effects.
The wide use of ethoxylated emulsifiers in cosmetics is occasionally questioned due to dermatological and environmental factors. Emulsifiers derived from all-natural sources are entirely vegetable-based alternatives to ethoxylates, based on renewable raw materials, and have been shown to be non-irritating/sensitizing in human repeat insult patch tests.
Vegetable-based emulsifiers are usually food-grade and based on natural renewable raw materials for o/w, w/o, and w/o/w cosmetic creams and lotions. They enable the formulation of high-quality and beneficial skin care formulations with safe ingredients. They can be used to formulate w/o, o/w, and w/o/w multiple emulsions for cosmetic and dermatologic formulations.PPG-2-Deceth-30 is a polyoxyethylene (2 moles) polyoxypropylene (20 moles) decyl ether, a white to pale yellow solid wax with a characteristic odor and melting point of 42-44C.

Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES) is derived from coconut and it is used primarily as a detergent-cleansing agent. It is the sodium salt of the ether sulfate obtained through the sulfation of ethoxylated lauryl alcohol.
Sodium Lauroyl Lactylate is the product of a condensation reaction of lauric acid and lactylate.
Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate (Sarkosyl) is a sodium salt of Lauroyl Sarcosinate, an ester of Lauroyl alcohol and Sarcosine amino acid. It is a secondary surfactant in a wide range of cleansing applications.
Sodium Myreth Sulfate is a highly active, ethoxylated surfactant for use in all types. A good alternative to Lauryl Sulfates or Laureth Sulfates.
Sodium Oleate is a sodium salt of oleic acid derived from vegetable oils. It is a white powder with a slight tallow-like odor. It is soluble in water and alcohol, and its melting point is 200-210 °C.
Most traditional soapmakers use the saponification of natural oils. Thanks to its relatively low prices and sustainability, Palm kernel oil is one of the most commonly used oils used for saponification.
Soap is produced through the saponification (conversion to soap) of fats and oils traditionally either animal or vegetable derived.
Sodium Stearate is a sodium salt of stearic acid (saturated C18 fatty acid), a white, free-flowing powder or granules with a fatty texture and a slight fatty acid odor.
Sodium stearoyl glutamate is derived from L-Glutamic acid and natural fatty acid (stearoyl acid), an anionic surfactant with a pH similar to human skin
Soap making is an ancient art that is made by combining a fatty acid base (sodium hydroxide or Lye - a naturally occurring mineral) with oils or fats in a process known as saponification. This natural process produces salts of fatty acids and glycerine.
Sorbitan Caprylate is a preservative booster derived from renewable raw materials. It is a sustainable ingredient that assists the efficacy of preserving agents. In addition, it can serve as an emulsifier, emollient, or viscosity control agent (thickener).
