Personal Care

H Care® LMHS is compatible with anionic, nonionic, amphoteric, and cationic surfactants. When compared to lauramidopropyl betaine, H Care® LMHS exhibits excellent dispersing, emulsifying, antistatic characteristics, and better flash foam and viscosity building capacity with lauryl sulfates and alpha olefin sulfonates. It is stable over a broad pH range in both hard and soft water, with excellent lime soap dispersing properties, and is fully biodegradable. It is a mild surfactant and can reduce the irritation caused by other surfactants.

H Care® AME has unique antistatic, moisturizing, and humectant properties. It is a good choice for both skin and hair conditioning products. For shampoos, superior conditioning can be built-in, allowing for excellent wet combing properties. It leaves hair with good manageability, reduces "fly away," and provides sheen to hair. It is also a suitable conditioner for body washes and lotions.

Estecare™ P80 is an oil-in-water emulsifier that is primarily used in combination with Estecare SMO. This combination of high and low HLB emulsifiers produces medium, fine-textured lotions and creams for skin and hair care applications. Estecare™ P80 also functions as a spreading aid for many industrial applications and provides water-dispersibility to anhydrous systems. Additionally, Estecare™ P80 can be used as a solubilizer for oils and fragrances.

Calfoam® ES-302 is a 27% active solution of sodium lauryl ether sulfate that contains an average of 2 moles of ethylene oxide. Calfoam® ES-302 is an anionic surfactant of choice for personal care and HI&I applications.

H Care® SCS is an anionic surfactant that is naturally derived from coconut oil. Although heat is required to fully dissolve the material, it is easily dispersible in water. It provides excellent lather and dense, creamy foam. It also has thickening and conditioning properties and can be an excellent replacement for most anionic surfactants in personal cleansing products.

CalBlend® DF is an optimized blend of high-foaming anionic surfactants with a nonionic foam stabilizer. This performance blend is ideally suited for making personal care and HI&I cleaning products.

EsteCare ™ 120AJ is a classical emulsifier for creams and lotions. It has many uses, such as surfactants in detergent formulations both, industrial and domestic. These are also used as cleaning agents, scouring agents, wetting agents and dispersants or emulsifiers in textile formulations. It is also used as emulsifiers, solubalizers in cosmetics and health care formulations.

Estecare™ P20 is an oil-in-water emulsifier that is primarily used in combination with Estecare SMO. This combination of high and low HLB emulsifiers produces medium, fine-textured lotions and creams for skin and hair care applications. Estecare™ P20 also functions as a spreading aid for many industrial applications and provides water-dispersibility to anhydrous systems. Additionally, Estecare™ P20 can be used as a solubilizer for oils and fragrances.

H Care® 2CLV is a coco imidazoline-derived dicarboxylic acid amphoteric. It is one of the mildest amphoteric surfactants of its class. It provides a moderate lather and cleans without removing dermal lipids from the skin, giving a rich conditioning effect. It is stable over a wide pH range and can be used as the only surfactant in commercial products such as moist wipes.

Macat® AO-10 is a 30% active solution of decyl (C10) dimethylamine oxide in water. It serves as an effective wetting agent, excellent foam stabilizer, and grease cutter that remains stable in hypochlorite and acid environments.

Macat® AO-14 LFA is a 30% active solution of myristyl (C14) dimethylamine oxide in water. It provides viscosity control and acts as an outstanding foam booster and grease cutter, while being stable in chlorine and acidic environments. Macat® AO-14 contains no solvents or VOCs.

H Care® CPE is an oil-soluble long-chain organic phosphate ester supplied as a free acid in powdered form. It is generally used as a co-emulsifier with low HLB nonionics and is non-irritating to the skin. This product is easily dissolved into either phase during emulsion processing and can be neutralized in situ with various cations. At low use concentrations, it will enhance the stability of emulsions and thicken creams and lotions. It can replace TEA-stearate in most preparations. It is ideally suited for use in many dermatological and personal care products.

H Care® MIPA is a 1:1 cocamide monoisopropanolamide that is 100% MEA and DEA free. It provides foam stability, emollient and anti-corrosive effects, and enhanced viscosity response. Featuring very low residual reactants and by-products, H Care® MIPA is especially suitable for more "natural" formulations and is stable in neutral, alkaline, and acidic systems. It is readily biodegradable per OECD 301 methods and meets the criteria for a surfactant under the EU Detergents Regulation (EC) 648/2004.

H Care® CPE-K MB is a naturally derived, excellent water-soluble O/W emulsifier and emulsion stabilizer. It can be used as the primary emulsifier, combining with low HLB co-emulsifiers to achieve highly stable emulsions. It is easily dissolved into the hot water phase during emulsion processing. At low use levels, It will enhance the stability of any emulsion and at higher concentrations will aid in building the viscosity of creams and lotions. It can replace stearic acid salts in most preparations. This product is ideally suited for use in many dermatological and personal care products, providing a silky powdery after-feel. It is completely non-irritating.

H-Quest® C 100 sodium glucoheptonate has many industrial uses as a high-performance chelating agent. Its superior performance in the pH range between 9 and 14 is due to its efficiency in forming stable chelates with divalent and trivalent metal ions such as Ca+2, Mg+2, Fe+2, Fe+3, Zn+2, Al+3, etc.
