Description:

Suitable For:
DIY cosmetic formulators
Skincare and haircare product makers
Natural and sulfate-reduced cleansing products
 
Ideal Product Types:
Shampoos and body washes
Facial cleansers and liquid soaps
Hand washes and foaming bath products
 
Concerns it Solves:
Lack of lather in natural formulations
Inadequate cleansing in mild surfactant systems
Need for a safe and effective foaming agent
 
How to Use:
Dilute in water before use; recommended concentration is 10–30% depending on formulation.
Add to the water phase while mixing gently to avoid foaming during formulation.
Combine with other surfactants or thickeners for desired viscosity and performance.
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
