Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate can be derived from coconut and is used primarily as a detergent cleansing agent. It is considered to be gentle and effective.
Foam booster
Foam is one of the basic effects formulators consider if they are considering surfactants. It is no wonder that foam characteristics are very important properties of personal care products.
Foam boosters are helpful in various foaming products. Foam is closely associated with terms such as cleansing, mildness, and skin sensation, so foaming behavior is a very important property of personal care products.
Bis-PEG-20 Dimethicone is a white, waxy, solid, water-soluble silicone wax designed to boost foam and soften in personal care formulations. It provides a significant foam boost in shampoo and body wash formulations.
Made from vegetable oils and starch, Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside is a non-ionic surfactant in demand for its performance, mildness, and low ecotoxicity
Promotes the breakdown of fat, is a very good skin energizer. It accelerates the fat-burning process, thus boosting energy production by burning the body‘s fat reserves.
This fatty alcohol produced from plant oils and natural waxes is used as an emulsifier, emollient, thickener, and carrying agent. It is not drying alcohol.
Cetyl alcohol (also know as 1-Hexadecanol) is 16 carbons in length fatty alcohol produced from palm oil and is used as an emollient, emulsifier, thickener, and carrying agent.
Cocamide DEA is a clear, viscous liquid based on the renewable vegetable lipid found in coconut oil. It is a uniquely natural complement for use in personal care products as a multi-functional foam booster and thickener with high biodegradability and low aquatic toxicity.
Cocamide MEA is a non-ionic vegetable-derived amide that provides excellent viscosity building and foam stabilization in anionic-based systems such as shampoos, hand washes, and body cleansers.
Cocamidopropyl betaine is a premium surfactant derived from coconut fatty acids. Betaine-derived surfactants are classified as amphoteric.
Coco-Betaine is an amphoteric and biodegradable surfactant that allows the development of extremely mild formulations, with rich, abundant, and creamy foam formation, and an excellent sensory profile.
A vegetable-based surfactant based on coconut oil and glucose. An extremely mild cleansing agent with anti-irritant properties, very gentle to the skin and mucus membranes. Biodegradable and ecologically harmless.
Dihydroxyethyl Cocamine Oxide is a surfactant with good foam-boosting and stabilizing properties. It is also used as a viscosity-controlling agent in formulations.
Disodium Cocoamphodipropionate is a salt-free, multi-functional amphoteric surfactant characterized by hydrolytic stability, detergency, and its ability to couple nonionic surfactants into concentric electrolyte solutions.
Disodium Sebacoyl Bis-Lauramidolysine is a sodium salt of a diester of Sebacic acid with Lauroyl Lysine. It is an amino acid-based multifunctional surfactant and emollient with unique properties for skin and hair care applications. It is a white powder barely soluble in water and oils.
Lauramide DEA is a clear liquid amide with a low odor. It is highly recommended for use in all types of shampoos, cleansers, bubble baths, and liquid cleanser formulations where quality, performance, extreme mildness, and maximum ease of handling are required.
Lauramine Oxide is an amine oxide surfactant. It is water soluble and supplied as a 30% active solution, which is a clear, light yellow liquid.
Laureth-6 Carboxylic Acid is an alcohol ether carboxylate, a multi-functional surfactant with the common attributes of mildness and hypochlorite stability. Its performance can be tailored as a function of pH.
Linoleamide DEA is a clear liquid amide, highly recommended for use in all types of shampoos, cleansers, bubble baths, and liquid cleanser formulations where quality, performance, extreme mildness, and maximum ease of handling are required.
Methyl Gluceth-10 is an ethoxylated methyl glucose ether derived from natural raw material (corn). It is a pale yellow syrup (liquid) with a moderate viscosity and a mild odor.
PEG-12 Dimethicone is a copolymer of polydimethylsiloxane and polyoxyalkylene ether. This combination gives this type of ingredient unique properties. It is clear to hazy and colorless to straw liquid.
PEG-4 Rapeseedamide is an ethoxylated (4 moles of ethylene oxide) fatty acid monoethanolamide derived from rapeseed oil, a natural renewable raw material rich in unsaturated fatty acid (C18).
PEG/PPG-18/18 Dimethicone is a clear to hazy, colorless to straw liquid. It is a copolymer of polydimethylsiloxane and polyoxyalkylene ether. It is readily soluble and stable in cool water and lower alcohols.
Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate is an anionic surfactant created from the amino acid glycine (a component of collagen) and botanically derived coconut fatty acid.
Quaternium-92 is a quaternized lipid conditioner developed especially for the skin. It is known under the trade name Incroquat QLC.
When mixed with water, soap bark forms a detergent (cleansing) lather, relieving itchy scalp and dandruff. Quillaja Saponaria Bark has also been used to wash eruptions, skin sores, itchy feet, and athlete’s feet.
Gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) is the second most abundant essential fatty acid in the skin and possibly even more important than linoleic acid for maintaining effective moisture barrier properties.
Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate is an aqueous solution of sodium olefin sulfonate which is produced by the continuous sulfonation of alpha olefins. It is a light yellow pearly liquid.
Sodium Coco PG-Dimonium Chloride Phosphate is a phospholipid complex composed predominantly of diester phosphatides with multiple long-chain groups.
Amphopropionates, also known as “salt-free” amphoterics, have been used for many years in personal care products. There are two types, mono- and di-propionates.
Sodium Cocoyl Hydrolyzed Amaranth Protein is a blend of foaming polypeptides of natural origin used as a secondary surfactant in cleansing applications. It consists of colloidal peptides and carbohydrates derived from Amaranth (Amaranthus caudatus) grain grown organically in Peru.
