Emulsifiers and Surfactants
ALKOXYLATED ALCOHOLS
PHOENOXOL® Series. Non-ionic surfactants manufactured from various ethoxylated fatty alcohols and/or propoxylated fatty acids with various degrees of alkoxylation. These surfactants are excellent emulsifiers for a wide variety of cosmetic products.
PHOENOXOL® BD-10P
(INCI: PPG-10 Butanediol)
100% active liquid. It is extremely emollient and acts to reduce the greasy feel in formulations such as lotions, creams, makeup bases, hair care products, antiperspirants, shaving products, and sun protection.
PHOENOXOL® G-7 PHOENOXOL® G-26
(INCI: Glycereth-7) / (INCI: Glycereth-26)
Emulsifiers, emollients, and lubricants that provide a soft, non-greasy, and luxurious feel on the skin. They are non-ionic in nature and therefore compatible with anionic, non-ionic, and cationic surfactant systems. They are stable across a wide pH range.
PHOENOXOL® L Series
(INCI: Laureth-2, Laureth-4, Laureth-7, Laureth-9, Laureth-10, Laureth-23)
A group of non-ionic surfactants very useful for controlling and adjusting viscosity and lubricity in shampoos and bubble baths. Also used as an emulsifier for creams and lotions. Solubilizers for perfumes, fragrances, and oils.
PHOENOXOL® OL Series
(INCI: Oleth-3, Oleth-5, Oleth-10)
Emulsifiers.
PEG ESTERS
Reaction products of a fatty alcohol or fatty acid and polyethylene glycol. By varying the molecular weight of the PEG and the fatty acids, surfactants covering a wide HLB range are obtained.
PRODUCT RANGE
PHOENATE®
PHOENATE® 150DSA
(INCI: PEG-150 Distearate)
Effective thickener for shampoos, transparent liquid soaps, facial and hand cleansers, and other bath products.
PHOENATE® DO-8
(INCI: PEG-8 Dioleate)
Oil-soluble and water-dispersible emulsifier and emollient.
PHOENATE® GC-30
(INCI: PEG-30 Glyceryl Cocoate)
Liquid emulsifier for O/W emulsions.
PHOENATE® MO-12
(INCI: PEG-12 Monooleate)
Emulsifier and emollient useful in both aqueous and anhydrous systems.
PHOENOXIDE
PHOENOXIDE® CO-25
(INCI: PEG-25 Castor Oil)
Emulsifier and fragrance solubilizer.
PHOENOXIDE® E-400
(INCI: PEG-8)
Moisturizer, solvent, and solubilizer.
PHOENOXIDE® HCO-40
(INCI: PEG-40 Castor Oil)
High capacity for solubilizing fragrances.
PHOENOXIDE® NP-9
(INCI: Nonoxynol-9)
Emulsifier.
COSCAP®
COSCAP® G7-MC
(INCI: Glycereth-7 Trimethyl Ether)
It is a product fully soluble in water and also in castor oil. These properties allow water to be introduced into certain anhydrous systems such as lipsticks. It is hydrolytically stable across a wide pH range and can be incorporated into formulations with salicylic acid, as well as in high pH systems.
COSCAP® G7-MC
(INCI: Glycereth-7 Trimethyl Ether)
At 5% w/w, it eliminates or reduces the greasiness of carbomer gels, helping to improve the aesthetic qualities of these formulations.
PHOSPHOBETAINES
Phoenotaine® Series. Phospholipids of plant and synthetic origin. They are widely used in cosmetic products for their ability to act as emulsifiers, lubricants, dispersing agents, and emollients. Phospholipids are excellent choices for cosmetic use as they are toxicologically safe and do not produce skin irritation or cause sensitization effects.
PHOENOTAINE® C-35
(INCI: Sodium Cocamidopropyl PG-Dimonium Chloride Phosphate)
Mild surfactant for liquid soaps and shampoos. Increases foam and improves the viscosity of surfactant systems.
PHOENOTAINE® D-35
(INCI: Sodium Dilinoleamidopropyl Dimonium Chloride Phosphate)
Same as PHOENOTAINE C-35 but with a more intense conditioning effect.
