Products from Renewable Sources Surfactants are used in delivery systems for cosmetics. Rhodia has developed a system for fragrance and actives delivery for body washes known as Miracare SLB. The system is based on coconut-derived surfactant in a lamellar phase engineered to form onion-like vehicle that captures fragrances and actives. The onion-like structure has voids that can encapsulate and deliver active ingredients to hair and skin (13). Rhodia also has developed Mackine 301, a nonquartenized amidoamine surfactant. It is a vegetable-based product that offers an excellent alternative to conventional surfactants and is used as a hair conditioner and mask for both healthy and damaged hair (14).
