Cocamidopropyl Betaine (CAPB, CAS 61789-40-0) is the most widely used amphoteric surfactant in personal care, derived from coconut oil. It boosts foam, reduces irritation of primary surfactants and adds mildness — essential in shampoos, body washes, baby care and facial cleansers. Physical & Chemical Properties INCI: Water, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Sodium Chloride, Glycerin Appearance: clear yellow […]
Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS, CAS 151-21-3) is the classic high-foam anionic surfactant — a workhorse in toothpaste, shampoos, body washes, household detergents and industrial cleaners. It delivers powerful foaming, wetting and cleansing at very economical cost. Physical & Chemical Properties INCI: Sodium Lauryl Sulfate Appearance: white to pale yellow powder, granules, needles or aqueous solution […]
Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate (CAS 301341-58-2) is an ultra-mild amino-acid anionic surfactant derived from coconut fatty acids and glycine. It provides gentle cleansing with a soft, creamy foam — a premium choice for sensitive-skin cleansers and baby care. Physical & Chemical Properties INCI: Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate Appearance: clear to slightly hazy aqueous solution (typically 30% active) […]
Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate (CAS 137-16-6) is a mild anionic surfactant derived from lauric acid and sarcosine. It produces rich, creamy foam and excellent oil removal with low irritation — a favorite for shampoos, facial cleansers and body washes, including sulfate-free systems. Physical & Chemical Properties INCI: Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate Appearance: white to light yellow powder […]
Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate (CAS 68187-32-6) is a mild amino-acid-based anionic surfactant derived from coconut oil and glutamic acid. It delivers effective cleansing with exceptional gentleness — the go-to surfactant for facial cleansers, baby care and sulfate-free formulas. Physical & Chemical Properties INCI: Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate Appearance: white to light yellow powder or granules (also available […]
PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil (CAS 61788-85-0) is a non-ionic solubilizer derived from hydrogenated castor oil. It transforms essential oils, fragrances and oil-soluble actives into clear, water-compatible solutions — an essential tool for toners, serums, micellar waters and bath products. Physical & Chemical Properties INCI: PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil Appearance: pale yellow to yellowish viscous liquid […]
Steareth-20 (CAS 9005-00-9) is a non-ionic O/W emulsifier based on ethoxylated stearyl alcohol. It produces stable, elegant creams and lotions and is frequently paired with stearyl alcohol or low-HLB co-emulsifiers to build viscosity and body. Physical & Chemical Properties INCI: Steareth-20 Appearance: white to off-white waxy pellets or pastilles, no odor Solubility: dispersible in water; […]
Ceteareth-30 (CAS 68439-49-6) is an ultra-high-HLB non-ionic emulsifier — the most hydrophilic member of the Ceteareth family. It creates light, elegant O/W emulsions and supports sprayable and low-viscosity systems where high water compatibility is required. Physical & Chemical Properties INCI: Ceteareth-30 Appearance: white to off-white waxy pellets or pastilles, no odor Solubility: readily dispersible/soluble in […]
Ceteareth-25 (CAS 68439-49-6) is a high-HLB non-ionic emulsifier with a higher degree of ethoxylation than Ceteareth-20, giving it strong hydrophilic character and excellent electrolyte tolerance — a preferred choice for sunscreen emulsions and light, stable lotions. Physical & Chemical Properties INCI: Ceteareth-25 Appearance: white to off-white waxy pellets or pastilles, no odor Solubility: dispersible/soluble in […]
Ceteareth-20 (CAS 68439-49-6) is a high-HLB non-ionic emulsifier from the Ceteareth family — the ethoxylated derivative of cetearyl alcohol, made from vegetable oils and ethylene oxide. It is a workhorse O/W emulsifier for stable creams, lotions and sunscreen formulas. Physical & Chemical Properties INCI: Ceteareth-20 Appearance: white pellets, no odor Solubility: dissolves in water & […]
