Viscosity builders are ingredients that increase the thickness and consistency of formulations. They help control product texture, improve stability, and enhance application properties in personal care and industrial products.
Viscosity builders improve product stability, control flow properties, enhance suspension of particles, and provide the desired texture and feel. They help create products with optimal consistency for various applications.
Viscosity builders are used in personal care products (lotions, creams, shampoos), industrial formulations, paints, coatings, and various other applications where controlled thickness and consistency are important.
Personal care products use various surfactants including anionic surfactants (for foaming and cleaning), non-ionic surfactants (as emulsifiers and mild cleansers), and amphoteric surfactants (for gentle formulations). Common examples include sodium lauryl sulfate, cocamidopropyl betaine, and ethoxylated alcohols.
Yes, our personal care surfactants are formulated to be mild and safe for skin and hair. We offer a range of gentle surfactants suitable for sensitive skin formulations, baby products, and premium personal care applications.
Emollients and conditioners provide moisturization, softness, and smoothness to skin and hair. They form a protective barrier, reduce moisture loss, and improve the feel and appearance of personal care products like lotions, creams, and conditioners.
Humectants attract and retain moisture from the environment, keeping skin and hair hydrated. They help maintain moisture balance, improve product feel, and enhance the moisturizing properties of personal care formulations.
Pearlizing agents create a pearlescent or opalescent appearance in personal care products like shampoos and conditioners. They add visual appeal, improve product aesthetics, and can also provide conditioning benefits.
Yes, we offer viscosity builders that help control the thickness and consistency of personal care formulations. These products improve product stability, enhance application properties, and provide the desired texture for various personal care applications.
Yes, our personal care ingredients meet regulatory requirements for cosmetic applications. They are suitable for use in shampoos, lotions, creams, and other personal care products, complying with relevant safety and quality standards.
