Products in Cosmetic Actives: Solubilizer

The ALKEST® CSO 540 is composed of surfactants resulting from the reaction of castor oil with ethylene oxide (EO). By increasing the degree of ethoxylation, the hydrophilic character of the molecule is increased (higher HLB), which represents increasing water solubility, cloud points and pour points. This product can be used as emulsifier, antistatic agent, lubricant and solubilizer in various markets and product applications.

ALKEST® CSO 400 has excellent emulsifying and solubilizing properties, especially useful for fragrance solubilization in transparent shampoos and alcohol-free colognes. ALKEST® CSO 400 is a concentrated product with high content of actives and preservative free.

Miami™ L95 is a sodium salt of lauroyl sarcosine. It offers excellent foam boosting and solubilizing properties. This product is recommended for soaps, detergents, facial cleansing creams, foam wash, hair shampoos, pet shampoos, body shampoos, and bathing materials.

The ALKEST® CSO product line is composed of surfactants resulting from the reaction of castor oil with ethylene oxide (EO). Depending on the number of ethylene oxide units (degree of ethoxylation), products with various values of HLB (hydrophilic-lipophilic balance) are obtained,allowing these products to be used in a wide range of applications.

Natura-Tec® Ultrafeel™ AB is comprised of C12-15 alkyl benzoate. It is commonly used as an emollient and UV filter solubilizer. It gives a light and dry feel.

DUB SYNERSOL is an optimized mix of different esters which acts as an SPF Booster to meet multiple sun care requirements.

ALKEST® TW 20 is made up of ethoxylated sorbitan esters,Depending on the starting fatty acid and the degree of ethoxylation,with a wide range of HLB (Hydrophilic-Lipophilic Balance) values are obtained, which provides the formulator with a versatile set of emulsifiers to choose from.

MIAMI L30 is a sodium salt of lauroyl sarcosine. It offers excellent foam boosting and solubilizing properties. This product is recommended for soaps, detergents, facial cleansing creams, foam wash, hair shampoos, pet shampoos, body shampoos, and bathing materials.

ALKEST® TW 60 is made up of ethoxylated sorbitan esters,Depending on the starting fatty acid and the degree of ethoxylation,with a wide range of HLB (Hydrophilic-Lipophilic Balance) values are obtained, which provides the formulator with a versatile set of emulsifiers to choose from.

ALKEST® TW 80 is made up of ethoxylated sorbitan esters,Depending on the starting fatty acid and the degree of ethoxylation,with a wide range of HLB (Hydrophilic-Lipophilic Balance) values are obtained, which provides the formulator with a versatile set of emulsifiers to choose from.

The ALKEST® TW 80 K is made up of ethoxylated sorbitan esters. The products in the ALKEST® TW line are hydrophilic, having high HLB values. The presence of the polyoxyethylene chain makes the products in the ALKEST® TW line soluble or dispersible in water, which favors their application in oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions, as dispersants/solubilizers of oils and fragrances, and as co-surfactants and humectants in shampoos, hand soaps, and body washes. ALKEST® SP 60 and ALKEST® SP 80, when used in combination with ALKEST® TW 60 or 80, are excellent emulsifiers for beeswax, paraffin, carnauba and their mixtures, promoting stability and homogeneity of formulations.

The ALKEST® CSO product line is composed of surfactants resulting from the reaction of castor oil with ethylene oxide (EO). Depending on the number of ethylene oxide units (degree of ethoxylation), products with various values of HLB (hydrophilic-lipophilic balance) are obtained,allowing these products to be used in a wide range of applications.

Spak ESE-40 can be used as a solubilizer and emulsifier of oils and fragrances, as a wetting agent, viscosity modifier, anti-stat, and stabilizer and dispersing agent.

Miami™ TL30 is a triethanolamine salt of lauroyl sarcosine. It is an excellent foaming booster and solubilizer. This product is recommended for soaps, detergents, facial cleansing creams, shaving foams, foam wash, hair shampoos, body shampoos, and bathing materials.

CHEM OS (Ethylhexyl Salicylate) is an effective oil soluble UV-B Filter UV-A radiation (320-400nm) is linked with the loss of skin elasticity, wrinkling and premature aging, whilst the more powerful UV-B radiation (290-320nm) is linked to sunburn, whilst the more powerful UV-B radiation (290-320nm) is linked to sunburn, cell damage and cancer risk. Chem OS is an oil soluble chemical sunscreen agent that absorbs UVB radiation. It is an excellent solubilizer for crystalline UV filters such as Butyl Methoxydibenzoyl methane or Ethyl Hexyl Triazone.

ALKEST® TW 327 is made up of ethoxylated sorbitan esters,Depending on the starting fatty acid and the degree of ethoxylation,with a wide range of HLB (Hydrophilic-Lipophilic Balance) values are obtained, which provides the formulator with a versatile set of emulsifiers to choose from.

The ULTRAPEG® product line is made up of ethylene oxide polymers. It is represented by the following general formula: HO(CH2CH2O)nH According to the degree of ethoxylation(n), products with different molecular weights and melting points can be obtained, which allows the use of these products in various applications. The hydrophilicity of the polyoxyethylene chain from the ULTRAPEG® product line allows for the obtention of a hygroscopic polymer which is highly water soluble. By varying the molecular weight, liquid or solid products may be obtained, covering a wide range of viscosities and consistencies.
