STEPAN-MILD® is an mild surfactant blend with good foam quality and viscosity building. It is used for baby products, shampoos, bubble baths, liquid hand soaps, shower gels and bath products.

Matrifuse™ S-1 dispersant is a high-performance dispersing additive for the pigmented skin care applications. It can effectively separate the agglomeration of pigment particles and significantly decrease the viscosity of dispersions, while allowing higher pigment loading, enhancing uniform coverage, and boosting product sensory. MATRIFUSE™ S-1 dispersant is designed for convenient handling and improved low temperature stability to avoid crystallization and settling.

MASCID® products are Fatty Acid derivatives widely used in the Home and Personal Care industries. They can also be used as a raw material or as an intermediate for pharmaceutical, rubber, plastic, paint and lubricant industries. They are an effective high-quality substitute for many petroleum-based products.

Beta-Glucan M™ also called “Sodium Carboxymethyl Beta-Glucan” is the sodium salt of a carboxymethyl ether of Beta-Glucan. It is commonly used as a binding agent and rheological modifier in personal care formulations. It is known to soothe irritated skin, support the skin’s own antioxidant activity, protect the skin from environmental damage, and help the skin to retain moisture.

Acconon products are well-characterized mixtures of polyoxyethylene mono- and diglycerides, fatty acids or fatty alcohols. In addition to functioning as excellent oil/water emulsifiers, many of these products can add emolliency to creams and lotions. Our line includes alkoxylates based on natural oils such as coconut, castor, and apricot oil.

A range of efficient and high performance organoclays used as viscosifiers, rheology modifiers and suspension aids in a variety of markets.
