Practical formulation guide
Usage level: Guideline range: 8–20 % total active matter in shampoo and body wash; 3–10 % in gentle facial cleansers. Always calculate based on the product's active matter.
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: Container tightly closed, between 5 and 35 °C/41 and 95 °F. Some surfactants turn cloudy, crystallize or gel in the cold: warm and homogenize before use.
Precautions: Irritating to the eyes in concentrated form: wear safety glasses and gloves. Do not ingest. See the Safety Data Sheet.
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.
