ECO Cosmowax™ fatty alcohol ethoxylates are surfactants formed by reacting 100% bio-based ethylene oxide with blends of 100% bio-based fatty alcohols. 100% bio-based ethylene oxide is made from 100% bio-based ethanol, derived from corn, sugar cane, or biomass. The 100% bio-based fatty alcohol blends are derived from palm oil, palm kernel oil, or coconut oil. The ECO Cosmowax™ series contains both hydrophilic and lipophilic products. Depending on the HLB value, ECO Cosmowax™ surfactants can be used to form either oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions or water-in-oil (W/O) emulsions, as well as to moisturize, emulsify, disperses, solubilize, and improve wetting. Their performance as moisturizers or emulsifying waxes is considered to be outstanding. ECO Cosmowax™ fatty alcohol ethoxylates are widely used in many personal care applications as well as some industrial applications.
