The raw material used for production is a derivative of palm kernel oil from certified crops. It is an anionic surfactant of the group of alkyl ether sulfates, based on natural alcohol

Glutamate and sarcosinate salts are anionic amino acid bases surfactants that are used in cosmetics as mild surfactants with a lower irritation potential compared to other surfactants. Sarcosinates are also available in free acid form. Main application areas in cosmetics are: skin, hair and oral hygiene products, and in addition soap production; further application areas are sunscreens and creams. Besides the application in cosmetics these surfactants are also used in household, I&I and industrial products, e.g. as corrosion inhibitors in lubricants or metal working fluids, as rust preventatives, as fuel additives, as surfactant in various types of cleaners and as textile processing aids.

Anionic surfactants are negatively charged materials that are available in a variety of chemical types. The main classes being alkyl ether sulfates, alkyl sulfates, alkylbenzene sulfonates, alpha olefin sulfonates, phosphate esters. They are used in a wide range of applications where they provide useful characteristics including, emulsification, solubilisation, wetting, detergency, dispersion and foaming.

The Naxan® anionic surfactants are a series of sodium salts of alkyl naphthalene sulfonic acid. These products provide excellent wetting, dispersing, hydrotroping and medium to low foaming. They offer acid and base stability, hard-water tolerance and high temperature stability. The naxaf® naphthalene sulfonate–formaldehyde condensates are used primarily as dispersants in a wide variety of industrial applications.
