Rheology Modifiers

H Care® COAB-45 is a high active cocamidopropyl betaine derived from triglyceride oil. This high-activity, mild, amphoteric surfactant is used as a secondary surfactant, foam booster, and viscosity builder in personal care products. It is readily biodegradable according to OECD 301 methods. This product also meets the criteria for a surfactant under the EU Detergents Regulation (EC) 648/2004.

Citrofol® AI Extra is a bio-based liquid derived from the esterification of citric acid and ethanol, both sourced from fermentation processes. It finds diverse applications across various industries due to its environmentally friendly profile. In food and nutrition, it acts as a carrier for flavors, a plasticizer in agrochemicals, and an emollient in pharmaceuticals.

Cola®Lux MO is an amine oxide-based zwitterionic surfactant with a C14 (tetradecyl) alkyl tail. It is used as a foam stabilizer and hair conditioning agent in shampoos and conditioners.

H Care® STA is an amphoteric surfactant that is useful in personal care products as a viscosity builder, hair conditioning agent, foam booster, and antistatic emulsifier. It is non-yellowing. It can be used in personal care products, cosmetics, and hair conditioners.

H Care® LMPA is a refined monoisopropanolamide, suitable for use in cosmetic and household formulations. H Care® LMPA offers excellent performance in building viscosity and stabilizing foam. With very low residual free amine, H Care® LMPA is an appropriate replacement for diethanolamine (DEA) or monoethanolamine (MEA). There is no DEA present in this product.

H Care® 2NALS is a very mild, nearly colorless sulfosuccinate derived from a three-mole ethoxylated lauryl alcohol. It provides excellent foam properties that can be enhanced by blending with sodium laureth sulfate. The combination of these two surfactants provides a product that is mild to both skin and eyes, has good foam performance, and improves viscosity response. This grade is preserved with KATHON® CG.

Macat® AO-12-2 is a 30% active solution of dihydroxyethyl cocamine oxide in water. It provides viscosity control and serves as an outstanding foam booster and foam stabilizer.

Masamide® R-4 is a non-ionic surfactant comprised of at least 90% PEG-4 Rapeseedamide in water. It serves as a viscosity increasing agent, emulsifier, and foam booster in personal care formulations.

Jungbunzlauer Xanthan Gum TNCS is valued across industries for its versatility, providing solutions for viscosity modification, stabilization, and suspension needs in formulations ranging from personal care products to industrial applications. Its bio-based, biodegradable, and non-GMO attributes further enhance its appeal in environmentally conscious markets.

H Care® MO is an exceptional amine oxide-based zwitterionic surfactant designed for personal care formulations. This highly effective ingredient is specifically formulated with a C14 (tetradecyl) alkyl tail, which makes it ideal for use as a foam stabilizer and hair conditioning agent in shampoos and conditioners.

H Care® DIPA is a DEA-free 1:1 coconut diisopropanolamide derived from triglyceride oil. H Care® DIPA is well-suited for 'natural' formulations. It is stable in neutral, alkaline, and acidic systems. Its appearance is a clear, viscous liquid with a maximum color (Gardner) of 3. The pH (10% aqueous) ranges from 10.0 to 11.5.

H Care® SAO is an excellent foam booster for low-pH formulations with stable foaming at lower pH ranges. Enhanced foam and viscosity building properties are achieved by replacing alkanolamides commonly used in formulations. It is a nonionic surfactant compatible with anionic and cationic systems and offers effective tolerance to electrolytes, permitting improved hard water performance.

Jungbunzlauer Xanthan Gum TGRD is particularly valued for its ability to enhance product stability, viscosity, and suspension across a wide range of applications while meeting various environmental and labeling criteria. Its versatility makes it suitable for use in personal care, household cleaning, industrial, and coatings applications.

H Care® LMA is a methyl ester-based amide and is a very effective foam stabilizer and thickening agent for anionic-based cleansers. It is a viscosity and foam booster as well as a hair conditioning agent and foam stabilizer. It can be used to make shampoos, bath products, and hand soaps.

H Care® SO is a 25% active stearamine oxide with conditioning properties comparable to quaternary ammonium compounds. It is slightly water-soluble, and its solubility can be enhanced by blending with anionic surfactants to offer a clear formulation. H Care® SO is an effective viscosity builder and useful in creating pleasing shampoo and hair rinse products. It is also gentle to both skin and eyes, causing no dermal or ocular irritation at 5% or less active use.
