Innospec (Stand No. M39) is launching two optimized performance blends at In-Cosmetics 2012 in Barcelona. Based on Innospec’s unique surfactant Iselux (INCI: sodium lauroyl methyl isethionate), the blends are sulfate-, EO- and amide-free, readily biodegradable and derived largely from renewable resources.
The Iselux-based blended systems have been designed to provide simple-to-use, cost-effective bases to help formulators and manufacturers of consumer products create sulfate-free personal cleansing products.
The use of Iselux optimized blends can help reduce on-site inventory costs, save manufacturing costs by decreasing cycle time and eliminating the need to heat batches, thus minimizing the overall cost in the bottle for our customers. All of this without compromising the novelty and quality of formulations.
Initially two blends will be available with further developments in the pipeline.
Iselux SFS is a concentrated sulfate-free surfactant blend requiring only the addition of water for dilution and salt to thicken, providing stable, crystal-clear finished formulations. It is ideal for shampoos and bodywashes. Iselux SFS is compatible with typical additives used to provide visual or performance enhancements.
Iselux SLB is a sulfate-free surfactant that can create structured systems where the use of high levels of oils or other typically non-compatible actives is desired to produce highly desirable end products. The concentrate can be cold-processed and, unlike traditional structured liquid bases, is free from EO containing raw materials.
