Home & Personal Care

Home Care and Institutional Cleaning

Our home care product range includes a variety of high-performance ingredients designed to improve the effectiveness of cleaning products. We offer surfactants that provide strong cleaning power, hydrotropes that enhance formulation clarity, and solubilizers that effectively disperse fragrances. Additionally, our products include anti-redeposition agents for laundry care, thickeners to achieve the right consistency, and sequestrants that help maintain product stability. These ingredients are formulated to support the development of versatile and effective home care solutions.

Surfactants for Cleaning
Our anionic and nonionic surfactants, based on ethoxylates and their sulfated and phosphated derivatives, offer excellent detergency properties. These surfactants provide a good foam profile, effective emulsifying action, and strong soil-lifting capabilities, making them suitable for all types of cleaning formulations.
Hydrotropes
Our amphoteric surfactants, based on dipropionates, provide excellent hydrotropicity and enhance the clarity of formulations. These surfactants feature a low foam profile and additional wetting properties, making them ideal for institutional care cleaners and heavily built alkaline cleaning formulations.
Solubilizers
Our solubilizers, based on a blend of nonionic surfactants, are highly effective for all types of cleaning formulations, providing outstanding solubilization of fragrances and perfumes. These solubilizers are also well-suited for use in room air fresheners, ensuring consistent performance across various applications.
Anti-redeposition agents
Our anti-redeposition agents, based on high molecular weight acrylic copolymers, are designed for use in laundry detergents. These agents also function as viscosity modifiers, encrustation inhibitors, and dispersing agents, making them suitable for liquid, cake, and powder laundry detergents, as well as dishwash formulations.
Thickeners
Our thickeners, based on acrylic copolymers using HASE chemistry, are hydrophobically modified alkali-swellable agents that instantly thicken formulations into a clear, viscous form when neutralized to a pH above 7.0.
Sequestrants
Our sequestering agents, based on phosphonates, are powerful in chelating heavy metal ions and controlling water hardness. These agents effectively prevent fouling in formulations and are suitable for all types of cleaning applications.
Personal Care

Our personal care ingredients are crafted to enhance the performance and quality of a wide array of skincare, haircare, and cosmetic products. We provide versatile emulsifiers, moisturizing emollients, and effective solubilizers to meet the diverse demands of the personal care industry. Our range also includes mild surfactants that offer gentle cleansing, thickeners that improve product consistency, and agents that enhance the visual appeal of formulations. These ingredients work together to support the creation of reliable, high-quality personal care products that align with consumer needs and industry standards.

Emulsifiers for Skin Care
Our emulsifiers, based on ethoxylated nonionic surfactants, are designed to produce stable oil-in-water emulsions for cosmetic creams and lotions. They offer a wide pH tolerance and are suitable for all types of oil phases, ensuring versatility and stability in various formulations.
Emollients for Skin Care & Hair Care
Our oil-soluble and water-soluble emollients, based on esters and polyglycol ethers, are ideal for skincare and haircare formulations. These emollients provide excellent spreading and moisturizing properties, while also imparting lubricity to the formulations. They offer solvency and pigment wetting capabilities. ,They are suitable for both rinse-off and leave-on applications. These emollients are widely used in the preparation of moisturizing creams, deodorants, antiperspirants, foundations, color cosmetics, sunscreens, bath oils, body washes, and other cosmetic formulations.
Fragrance Solubilizers
Our solubilizers, formulated with high-HLB ethoxylates, are industry-standard solutions for effectively incorporating fragrances, perfumes, flavors, essential oils, and other hydrophobic actives into various formulations. These solubilizers are particularly suitable for transparent gels and are also widely used to solubilize vitamins in oral pharmaceutical formulations.
Mild Surfactants
Our amine oxides provide multifunctional benefits, including copious foaming, viscosity building, and solubilizing properties. They also offer hair-conditioning benefits and help reduce the irritation caused by anionic surfactants in formulations. These versatile ingredients are suitable for use in shampoos, body washes, bubble baths, and other similar products.
Thickeners
Our high-performance thickeners, based on polyglycol derivatives, are ideal for shampoo, face wash, hand wash, and other wash formulations. Available in liquid form, these thickeners are effective in systems that use anionic surfactants like SLES and can also be used to thicken transparent formulations.
Pearlizing Agents
Our opacifying and pearlizing agents, based on glycol distearate, are available in liquid form for easy handling. These agents can be used in cold blending processes and are designed to enhance the visual appeal and aesthetic value of formulations. They are commonly used in shampoos, hand washes, face washes, and shower products.
Foam Boosters
Our alkyl polyglycol ethers serve as foam boosters and stabilizers, specifically designed for use in shave creams and shave gels. They are also suitable for use in transparent gel formulations, ensuring consistent foam performance across various personal care products.
FAQS
