Description

Crothix produces a substantial viscosity in detergent systems, even at low levels. This multi-functional ingredient also acts as a counter-irritant aiding the formulation of mild surfactant systems. Requires no neutralisation and works well in clear and hard-to-thicken systems. Sampling will be of the sustainable palm variant.

Applications:

• Bath, shower & soaps
• Antiperspirants & deodorants
• Body care
• Face / neck skin care
• Facial cleansers
• Shampoos
• Styling
• Sun protection

Formula Tip: In most instances, the resultant blend is clear, provided the pH is 5.0 or higher. However, it is best to check each individual formulation, since some systems may become hazy. If desired, formulations that are quite viscous can be heated and made easier to stir. Emulsion-type products like body washes, conditioners and lotions can be easily formulated by incorporating Liquid Crothix into the oil phase and heating the mixture to a temperature above 50°C before forming the emulsion.

Usage Level: 1-8% by Weight
