Decyl Glucoside
Decyl Glucoside is an alkyl polyglucoside non-ionic surfactant produced by the reaction of glucose, typically from corn starch, with decyl alcohol derived from coconut and/or palm kernel oils. In formulations, it functions as a mild cleansing agent, foaming agent, and emulsifier, supporting the removal of dirt and oil while contributing to foam stability. It is commonly used in rinse-off products such as shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, baby products, and shower gels.

Disodium Lauroamphodiacetate
Disodium Lauroamphodiacetate is an amphoteric surfactant derived from lauric acid, often sourced from coconut oil. It functions as a mild cleansing agent, foam booster, and conditioner in formulations, helping to lower surface tension, stabilize emulsions, and enhance foam while supporting skin and hair feel. Commonly used in shampoos, facial cleansers, body washes, and baby products to support cleansing and conditioning performance.

Alpha Olefin Sulfonate
Alpha Olefin Sulfonate (AOS) is an anionic surfactant derived from the sulfonation of alpha olefins, typically sourced from natural or synthetic fatty alcohols. It is commonly used in personal care formulations to provide effective cleansing and foaming. Known for its high flash foam and excellent rinsability, AOS is frequently included in shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, and other rinse-off systems. It is often selected as an alternative to traditional sulfates in sulfate-free formulati

Sodium Cocoamphoacetate
Sodium Cocoamphoacetate is a mild amphoteric surfactant derived from coconut oil fatty acids. Known for its gentle cleansing profile, it helps reduce irritation potential when used alongside anionic surfactants and supports rich, stable foam. It’s widely used in sulfate-free and gentle wash formulations, as well as in shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, and bubble baths. This ingredient contributes to mildness, foam stabilization, and improved viscosity response in rinse-off systems.

Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate Powder
Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate (SCI) Powder is a mild, sulfate-free anionic surfactant derived from coconut fatty acids. It creates a rich, creamy lather and leaves behind a soft, conditioned after-feel, making it ideal for gentle cleansers, facial bars, shampoo bars, body washes, and baby care products. SCI is especially favored in solid-format products for its low irritation profile and luxurious foam, even in hard water. The powder form allows for flexible processing and efficient dispersion.

Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS)
Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) is a high-foaming anionic surfactant derived from natural fatty alcohols of mixed palm and coconut feedstock. It is widely used in rinse-off cosmetic products for its powerful cleansing, emulsifying, and foaming properties. Commonly found in shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, and bath products, SLS contributes to quick foam buildup, effective soil removal, and enhanced product spreadability. It is often used in combination with milder secondary surfactants to mo
