Products in Nonionic Surfactants: Hydrating

Plantaren® 2000 N UP is an alkyl polyglucoside (APG®) surfactant that is in a unique class of non-ionic surfactants obtained from renewable, plant-derived raw materials. It is made from natural, renewable, plant-derived feedstocks and is readily biodegradable. Applications for this product include body wash, face wash, liquid hand soap, shampoo, sensitive skin care, and wipes. This product has a liquid appearance, with an active substance content of 48-55%.

MASCOL® 16/98P is a high-quality, naturally derived fatty alcohol. It can be used as an emollient, emulsifier, stabilizer, thickening agent, or foam inhibitor in various applications like creams and lotions, shampoos, or detergents to moisturize and smooth the skin and hair, as well as to reduce irritations. MASCOL® 16/98P is vegan, non-GMO, non-allergenic, and derived from sustainable palm oil, produced by the Musim Mas group. The product is offered as a liquid or in white solid form as pastilles.

Liceryl™ 12 is an ester derived from linoleic fatty acids and acts as a co-surfactant with emollient and solubilizing properties. It reduces skin redness and disruption of the skin barrier function caused by surfactant penetration. Liceryl™ 12 is synthesized with glycerin, an endogenous component of the skin known for its humectant properties. Linoleic acid is an unsaturated omega-6 fatty acid (18:2 -6) and is prevalent in soybean oil (Glycine max).

Eceryl™ 12 is an ester derived from erucic fatty acids and acts as a co-surfactant with emollient and solubilizing properties. It reduces skin redness and disruption of the skin barrier function caused by surfactant penetration. Eceryl™ 12 is synthesized with glycerin, an endogenous component of the skin known for its humectant properties. Erucic acid is a monounsaturated omega-9 fatty acid (22:1 -9) found in rapeseed oil (Brassica napus).

PEL-SIL™ PEPG-1818 is a multipurpose organosilicone surfactant that provides slip, mar resistance and antiblocking properties to surfaces such as polyolefins and coatings, paints and inks. It improves leveling and reduces orange peel, increases gloss and provides a smooth feel to surfaces. This product is soluble in both water and solvent borne formulations and is stable at roughly neutral pH. Stability is reduced by exposure to strong acid or alkali. There is no hydroxyl functionality because all the terminal hydroxyls are acetate capped so PEL-SIL™ PEPG-1818 is non-reactive. In personal care, PEL-SIL™ PEPG-1818 is used as a plasticizer for hair resins used in styling products. It is also an effective humectant and emollient for skin care products. It yields very stable formulations, is a good wetting agent, requires low usage levels and is compatible with a wide range of other materials. Being a higher molecular weight polymer, PEL-SIL™ PEPG-1818 has a low order of toxicity.

PEL-SIL™ bis-PEG-10 is a linear, 100% active, dimethicone terminated with PEG-10 polyether groups. It is dispersible in water and is used in applications where lubricity, softness and conditioning are required. It finds use in personal care, household products, textiles and leather processing. Excellent surface tension reducer, it can boost foam quantity and stability in a multitude of personal care applications. It provides additional benefits such as moisturizing, emollience and a soft silky feel on hair and skin. It may also be used as a reagent to modify polymeric systems by virtue of its two primary hydroxyls. In these systems, it provides the typical benefits of silicones that include slip, mar resistance, anti-blocking, softness and improved temperature stability to the finish polymer.

PEL-ALC™ CA-205P is both a nonionic emulsifier and an emollient useful for the formulation of lotions and creams. It also serves as a humectant, dispersant and fragrance solubilizer. PEL-ALC™ CA-205P is useful for the formulation of bath oils, shampoos, clear gels and other hydroalcoholic systems. By virtue of its higher molecular weight, this product is quite mild to the skin. PEL-ALC™ CA-205P is recommended as a solubilizer for bath oils and fragrances. It may also be used as a superfatting agent, conditioner and solubilizer for fragrances in shampoos and conditioners. In hair sprays, it will plasticize the resins used and add lubricity, providing better combability. PEL-ALC™ CA-205P has an HLB of 16 and it provides good wetting from aqueous solution. As such, it is useful for the suspension of actives used in antiperspirant sticks. PEL-ALC™ CA-205P can also be usedin soap bars to prevent cracking. The typical use level is 2% and it should be incorporated before milling as a mixture with the fragrance at the mixer stage.

PEL-SIL™ Bis-PEG-12 is a linear, 100% active, dimethicone terminated with PEG-12 polyether groups. It is dispersible in water and is used in applications where lubricity, softness and conditioning are required. It finds use in personal care, household products, textile finishing and leather processing. Excellent surface tension reducer, it can boost foam quantity and stability in a multitude of personal care applications. It provides additional benefits such as moisturizing, emollience and a soft silky feel on hair and skin. It may also be used as a reagent to modify polymeric systems by virtue of its two primary hydroxyls. In these systems, it provides the typical benefits of silicones that include slip, mar resistance, anti-blocking, softness and improved temperature stability to the finish polymer.
