Answer

Based on the ingredient list you provided, I have found information on some of the ingredients in our database. While I cannot check the current stock levels of these products, I can provide details about the ingredients I was able to identify:

  • BabyFoam™ (Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate): This is an anionic surfactant, known for being gentle. It's often used as a main detergent in mild formulas like baby shampoos, soaps, and facial cleansers. It comes as a super fine powder and is suitable for creamy or solid formulas.
  • Cellulose Gum: This is a naturally-derived ingredient used as a rheology modifier and sensory enhancer. It helps thicken formulas like gels, serums, creams, and lotions, providing a soft, non-sticky feel. It is dispersible in the water phase.
  • Xanthan Gum (clear gel type, smooth texture): This is an anionic thickener produced by fermentation. It creates a clear gel texture and can be used to increase viscosity in gels, serums, creams, or lotions. It is mixed into the water phase.
  • Cocamidopropyl Betaine: This is an amphoteric surfactant, meaning it has both positive and negative charges. It is considered gentle and is often used as a secondary surfactant in personal care products like liquid soap, shampoo, and facial soap to help create a smooth, fine foam.

I was able to find product information for these ingredients based on your list.
