Sodium Laurylglucosides Hydroxypropyl Sulfonate For Sulfate Free Formulations

Sodium Laurylglucosides Hydroxypropyl Sulfonate for Sulfate-free Formulations

The use of sulfonated alkyl polyglucosides (SAPG) to replace lauryl sulfates and lauryl ether sulfates in sulfate-free formulations has previously been discussed. These primary surfactants were created with environmental and human safety in mind. The current paper describes more recent work with this material, specifically focusing on the lauryl version of SAPG.

Comparatively Speaking Alkyl Betaines Vs Amido Betaines

Comparatively Speaking: Alkyl Betaines vs. Amido Betaines

Industry expert Tony O'Lenick asks Robert Coots, Ph.D., to explain the difference between alkyl betaines and amido betaines, including their foaming properties.

Sulfate vs. Sulfate-free: Information to Make a Choice

In the present article, the author considers factors for sulfate vs. sulfate-free formulating, including cost, foam and viscosity. In addition, two test formulations with and without sulfates are compared. The author concludes that little sound science exists to support the current “sulfate-free” market trend, especially when considering the potential benefits sulfates can impart in formulations.

Cocamidopropyl Betaine

This paper presents methods for producing cocamidopropyl betaine (CAPB), an important secondary surfactant in cosmetic formulations, household cleaners, dish-washing agents and technical applications. However, with the widespread use of CAPB, more analytical methods to determine its contents and byproducts are needed. These authors thus describe methods to determine CAPB purity and other characteristics.

Sulfate-free Cleansers

With proper formulating techniques, sulfate-free cleansers that offer improved mildness and conditioning are possible. This article will present formulations based on alternate surfactant systems to provide the performance required for the specific applications.

Ingredient Profile—Sodium Lauroamphoacetate

The present column features one of the oldest and most well-known members of the amphoteric family: sodium lauroamphoacetate (SLAA).

Sugar and the Quest for Sulfate-Free Formulations

Many approaches have been tried over the years to eliminate lauryl sulfates and lauryl ether sulfates from personal care formulations, most of which have not been cost-effective. This article discusses a new class of patented anionic products based upon sugar raw materials.

Evaluating Shampoo Foam

There is probably no personal care category that is more competitive than shampoos. With this in mind, formulators of shampoos are asked by marketing to develop products to both appeal to consumers and perform (whatever “perform” means).

Formulating Conditioning Shampoos

Conditioning shampoos came into being when in order to replace hair body that had been lost by frequent shampooing and conditioning, formulators sought to introduce ingredients that would be deposited on the hair during the shampooing process. This article addresses the basics and the most recent developments in formulating conditioning shampoos.
