Technical Details & Test Data

Irritation and Mildness Data

Skin Compatibility:

• BASF’s APG surfactants not only show very low irritation potentials under use conditions, they also cause less skin dryness and skin barrier damage than conventional surfactants.
• This further confirms the excellent suitability for skin rinse-off formulations, where mildness is key.

Soap Chamber Test: TEWL on Day 5

• The soap chamber test (SCT) is used to evaluate the cumulative irritation potential of surfactants. Parameters assessed also give a measure of possible surfactant- induced skin dryness and skin barrier damage (TEWL).
• Surfactants were repeatedly applied to the volar forearm under occlusion on 5 consecutive days and skin dryness was assessed on day 5; skin barrier damage on day 8.

Soap Chamber Test: Dryness on Day 8

Epicutaneous Patch Test (2% AS, pH 6.5), Single Occlusive Application (24 h)

• Primary skin irritation is assessed in humans using epicutaneous patch testing (ECT; 24 h occlusive patch test).
• In an ECT, substances are applied to backs of volunteers under occlusion for 24 h; reactions (redness/ erythema, scaling/squamation, swelling/edema, cracking/fissuration) are monitored for 3 days following removal of the patch.

Sensorial and Thickening Data

Foamability:

Plantaren® 2000 N UP synergies in combination with BASF surfactants result in a high rate of foaming (mm/s), also known as foamability.

Test parameters:

• Amount of foam: Amount of foam after two pumps
• Foam cushion: Feel of the cushion, pillow, film between the fingers
• Bubble size: Pore/bubble size and spread
• Foam stability: Stability, how fast the bubbles burst
• Creaminess: Feel of creaminess between the fingers
• Foam body: Assessment of the sturdiness / plasticity of the foam

Foam Performance of Single Surfactants: Plantaren® (100%) vs. SLES (100%) and Dehyton® PK 45 (CAPB) (100%):
