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.
Sodium Laureth-13 Carboxylate is an anionic surfactant, a sodium salt of the methyl carboxyl ethoxylated (with 13 mols of ethylene oxide) lauryl alcohol. Thanks to its excellent rinsability and flash foaming action, it is used in many cleansing applications.
Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS or Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate) is a surfactant from the alkyl sulfates family, one of the most popular detergents in cleansing applications. It is a white to yellowish powder (or needles) with a characteristic odor.
