APPLICATIONS
ShampooLiquid soapBody washes

Very effective for thickening clear shampoos, liquid soaps, body washes, conditioners and personal care products in general. It also works as an emulsifier for creams and lotions, especially systems with high electrolyte concentrations.

DESCRIPTION
DIESTEARATO 150 PLUS

A diester of stearic acid with 150 moles of ethylene oxide. A nonionic emulsifier for oil-in-water bases, for neutral, acidic and alkaline systems. It is compatible with anionic, nonionic and cationic surfactants. It also has good electrolyte tolerance. It comes as flakes or small platelets, and its main function in shampoo formulations is as a thickener.

Practical formulation guide
Usage level: 0.1–2 % depending on the application, and up to 10 %.
How to use and incorporate: Add the surfactant to the water (not the water onto the surfactant) with slow stirring to avoid excess foam. If solid or paste, melt or dissolve first in warm water. Adjust the pH at the end (5–6.5 for facial and hair products) and the viscosity with salt (sodium chloride 0.5–2 %) or a thickener.
Formulation tips:
  • Combining a primary surfactant with a secondary one (betaine, glucoside, amphoteric) improves mildness, foam and viscosity.
  • Anionic and cationic surfactants may be incompatible; check clarity and stability when combining them.
  • Before scaling up, make a pilot batch and run a stability test (cycles at 4 / 25 / 45 °C/39 / 77 / 113 °F for 4 weeks, checking odor, color, pH, viscosity and separation) in the final packaging.
Compatibility: Compatible with other anionic, amphoteric and nonionic surfactants, conditioning polymers and most extracts and fragrances.
Storage: In tightly closed bottles, in a cool, dry place.
Precautions: None in particular; do not ingest.
Technical information for formulators: This sheet describes industrial uses of the raw material in the development of cosmetic products. It is not an efficacy claim for any finished product. The person responsible for the formulation must validate the concentration, compatibility and claims of their product in accordance with applicable regulations.
