Sodium Cocoyl Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein is a sodium salt of the gluten derivative that is made from hydrolyzed wheat protein and stripped coconut fatty acid. The wheat protein is wheat gluten, which is extracted from the grain. It contains high levels of glutamic acid and glycine.
Surfactant
Surfactant is a term formed from the words "Surface active agent," which means an ingredient that lowers the surface tension of a liquid. It contributes to the spreadability of creams, detergency, foam boosting of cleansing applications, and emulsifying, dispersing, solubilizing, and hydrotrope properties.
Formulating consumer-pleasing rinse-off products is a fairly complex task. A number of variables need to be taken into account to create the performance you need with the sensory characteristics consumers want - foam boosting and stabilization, viscosity, rheology, cleansing, feel and conditioning, and solubilization of actives and fragrances. All of these factors are created – or affected – by the choice of surfactants for a product. It's no news that each choice has strengths and drawbacks that must be compensated for to achieve optimum results.
Modern surfactants are developed from a combination of chemistries and tailored to meet the needs of today's market and manufacturing environment. They provide excellent foam stability while at the same time providing industry-benchmark thickening performance. These ingredients demonstrate the rheological properties that contribute to an excellent shear-thinning formulation, allowing the formulation of high-viscosity products that flow effortlessly from the bottle and on application.
Some surfactants are cold-processable and extremely effective solubilizers of fragrances and actives, producing crystal-clear end formulations in various applications. These performance properties are enhanced by excellent after-feel and a very low irritation profile, which enhance consumers' sensory experience.They make formulating tasks significantly simpler, allowing the number of ingredients used in a formulation to be reduced, manufacturing costs to be lowered, and irritancy potential to be reduced.
Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate is a mild surfactant designed for cleansing products. It is nearly salt-free and resistant to hard and salt water with high foaming properties.
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 Glutamate is an acyl-amino acid type (acylglutamate) mild anionic surfactant used in soaps and cleaners. It is compatible with anionic and non-ionic surfactants used in cleansing applications and incompatible with cationic surfactants and other substances.
Sodium Lauroyl Hydrolyzed Silk is a silk-based anionic surfactant and is designed for higher-end brands, products, and customers enjoying silk as part of the cleansing process and label content.
Sodium Lauroyl Oat Amino Acids is a sodium salt of acylated oat (Avena Sativa) amino acids, a functional surfactant from modified natural raw material. It is compatible with anionic and non-ionic surfactants used in soaps and cleansing applications.
Sodium Methyl 2-Sulfolaurate is a sodium salt of 2-Sulfolauric acid, a mild surfactant with good foaming and cleaning power. It is a clear yellow liquid, an eco-friendly, readily biodegradable, and versatile ingredient derived from coconut fatty acids for cleansing applications.
Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate is a white, soft-paste surfactant that provides a creamy, high-volume foam for facial cleansers, liquid soap, and shampoos. It exhibits outstanding foaming properties even with high oil content in the formulation.
Sodium Myreth Sulfate is a highly active, ethoxylated surfactant for use in all types. A good alternative to Lauryl Sulfates or Laureth Sulfates.
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
Sorbitan Laurate is a
Sorbitan Oleate (sorbitan monooleate; SMO) is a partial oleic acid ester with sorbitol and its mono- and dianhydrides derived from naturally renewable resources.
Sorbitan tristearate is a sorbitol ester (triester) with stearic acid, a white creamy solid.
Steardimonium Hydroxypropyl PEG-7 Dimethicone Phosphate Chloride is a Dimethicone PEG-7 Phosphate derivative with an enhanced performance based on proprietary silicone phosphate technology. It retains the parent material's multi-functional nature.
Steareth-2 is a white soft solid (2-mole ethoxylate of stearyl alcohol) auxiliary oil-in-water emulsifier with an HLB value of 4.9. It is a multifunctional ingredient used in personal care applications as a nonionic surfactant, wetting agent, solubilizer, conditioner, and coupling agent.
TEA-C12-13 Alkyl Phosphate is a high-purity monoalkyl phosphate developed as a high-foaming, extremely mild primary surfactant for personal care formulations.
TEA-Cocoyl Hydrolyzed Collagen is a fatty acid protein derivative that has been neutralized with triethanolamine improving its foaming and solubility.
TEA-Lauroyl Collagen Amino Acids is a clear to slightly hazy, amber liquid with a mild characteristic odor. It is considered a "foaming protein" with conditioning properties. It is a mild and water-soluble foaming surfactant based on collagen amino acids.
Triethanolamine is an organic amine with three hydroxy groups; thus, it is also a triol. It's a multifunctional ingredient in skin care formulations that acts as an oil-in-water emulsifier, solubilizer, and surfactant.
