Technical Details & Test Data

Irritation and Mildness Data

Skin Compatibility:

• BASF’s APG surfactants not only show very low irritation potentials under use conditions, they also cause less skin dryness and skin barrier damage than conventional surfactants.
• This further confirms the excellent suitability for skin rinse-off formulations, where mildness is key.

Soap Chamber Test: TEWL on Day 5

• The soap chamber test (SCT) is used to evaluate the cumulative irritation potential of surfactants. Parameters assessed also give a measure of possible surfactant- induced skin dryness and skin barrier damage (TEWL).
• Surfactants were repeatedly applied to the volar forearm under occlusion on 5 consecutive days and skin dryness was assessed on day 5; skin barrier damage on day 8.

Soap Chamber Test: Dryness on Day 8

Oral Compatibility:

• Plantacare®4 1200 UP is classified as being non- or minimally irritating. It is significantly milder compared to SLS.
• Combinations of conventional SLS with Plantacare® 1200 UP lead to milder formulations than SLS alone and can help to reduce the irritation potential of a toothpaste.

EpiOral Tissue Model, 1% AS, pH 7.0:

In this study, the test samples were applied to the oral tissue model. The viability of the cells over time is measured and used to calculate the time of exposure until viability is reduced to 50% [ET50].

Sensorial and Thickening Data

Foamability:

Plantaren® 1200 N UP synergies in combination with BASF surfactants result in a high rate of foaming (mm/s), also known as foamability.

Test parameters:

• Amount of foam: Amount of foam after two pumps
• Foam cushion: Feel of the cushion, pillow, film between the fingers
• Bubble size: Pore/bubble size and spread
• Foam stability: Stability, how fast the bubbles burst
• Creaminess: Feel of creaminess between the fingers
• Foam body: Assessment of the sturdiness / plasticity of the foam

Foam Performance of Single Surfactants: Plantaren® (100%) vs. SLES (100%) and Dehyton® PK 45 (CAPB) (100%):

Foam Performance of Plantaren® Synergies vs. CAPB:SLES (25:75):

Foamability in Oral Care Toothpaste:

• Plantaren® 1200 N UP performs well in toothpaste formulation compared to SLS.
• It is gentle to the mouth, provides creamy, dense foam and has a slight sweet taste which ultimately delivers a more pleasant toothbrushing experience.
