Foam bath products

Mono- and di-esters of ethanediol (ethylene glycol) - especially the stearates - are used in cosmetics such as emulsion shampoos and foam bath products as opacifiers and pearlescent agents. 

Uses Thickener and foam booster for personal care (high-foaming bath products... 

Cocamide ethanolamines are used as foaming agents in shampoos and bath products and as emulsifying agents in cosmetics. 

Contact of surfactants with the skin and mucus membranes occurs either accidentally or as a consequence of normal use. Examples of this normal and everyday use are cleaning formulations, shampoos, foam baths, and toothpastes. Again this contact is seldom made with individual surfactants, in this case alcohol sulfates and alcohol ether sulfates, but through formulated products. It is known that surfactants present significant interactions, so that mixed systems are generally less aggressive than their individual components. However, the effect of pure surfactants merits attention, particularly sodium dodecyl sulfate, which is commonly used as a reference for many studies because of its high purity and availability. 

At the same time, in cosmetics more and more emphasis was placed on mildness, so that the use of ether carboxylates in such products as shampoos, foam baths, and shower baths began to increase. 

The range of personal care products is rather wide, such as shampoos, foam baths, shaving products, creams, tooth pastes. An almost complete review of the use of surfactants for cosmetic and personal care purposes was given in [80], We see it necessary to focus on two aspects of the effect of surfactants on the stability of dispersed systems under different application conditions. 

Prodncts and Uses A component in soaps, shampoos, detergents, shaving creams, fire extinguishers, detergents, and bath products as a foam producer and an emulsifier. 

High purity amide used in the formulation of premium quality shampoos and high foaming cosmetic products. Especially useful in powdered foam bath applications. 

Cosmetic grade SLES used in mild shampoos, bath products, skin cleansers, handsoaps, and high foaming toiletries. 

Especially good viscosity builder for shampoos, bath products and skin cleansers. Boosts foam and adds stability to tight, dense foam. 

Excellent choice for low-pH shampoo systems where mildness is important. High flash foam, low cloud point, and good viscosity response. Very effective in acid balanced shampoo systems, cleansers, bath products and gels. 

Excellent choice for mild, low-irritation applications, such as shampoos, facial cleansers and bath products. Builds viscosity and boosts foam over a broad pH range. 

High-foaming surfactant which tends to increase viscosity, as well as the quality and quantity of foam. Also contributes emolliency to shampoos, cleansers and bath products. 

Mild, emollient conditioning surfactant. Substantive to skin and hair. Its viscosity-building and foam-enhancing qualities make it ideal for use in shampoos, conditioners, liquid soaps and bath products. 

Helps to reduce the irritation potential of other surfactants. Particularly suited to baby shampoos and baby bath products. Its good foaming and viscosity building improve most surfactant systems. 

Mild branched chain alkyl ether sulfates for use in shampoo and bath products. These products have excellent wetting and foaming properties. Their mildness is ideal for use in t>aby products. 

Alpha Olefin Sulfonate is used in shampoos, hand soaps and bath products. It is more stable than alcohol sulfates over a broad pH range. Provides excellent flash foam. 

Stepan s Alkanolamides are excellent foam boosters, stabilizers and viscosity builders/modifiers for shampoos, hand soaps and bath products. NINOL 30-LL is a liquid lauramide designed specifically for viscosity building and foam enhancement. NINOL 40-CO is derived from whole coconut and contains glycerin for added conditioning properties. NINOL 55-LL is a liquid lauric designed for foam enhancement. NINOL 70-SL and 96-SL are efficient foam boosters. 

Mild, effective emulsifiers for fragrances and essential oils. They Impart viscosity and foam enhancement in shampoos, hand soaps, and bath products. 

Body cleansing Body care Intimate body care Foot care products shower and foam baths, bath accessories, soap bars, liquid soaps, creams, lotions, oils, hair-removers, wash lotions, deodorants, creams, lotions, deodorants. 

Amphoterics are usually used in conjunction with other surfactants (anionics or nonionics) to boost desired properties such as foam or detergency. Since the optimal surface activity of amphoterics takes place around neutral pH, they are particularly appreciated in personal care products (shower gels, foam baths, shampoos, etc.) for their mildness and skin compatibility. 

Betaines are thus especially suitable in personal care applications (shampoos, foam baths, liquid soaps, shower gels, etc.), fabric hand-wash products, and dish-washing products.
