Polyesteramine Performance: Improving Mildness in Rinse-off Cleansers
Polyesteramines are typically used as cationic conditioners but their surface-active properties and ability to associate with detersive surfactants suggests irritation reduction and viscosity-building effects. To test these effects, surface tensiometry was used to quantify the surfactant-binding capacity of polyesteramines. Furthermore, preclinical assessments were made to determine irritation potential in epidermal equivalents.
Literature/Data
Foaming for Formulators: Coco-glucoside
Coco-glucoside is naturally derived from plant sugars and fatty alcohols, and has become increasingly popular as a foaming and cleansing agent in formulations due to its natural properties. In this column, the creation, composition and application of coco-glucoside are examined for proper formulating in personal care products, compared with other anionic surfactants.
