Information on Cleansing Product Ingredients

Thank you for your inquiry about the list of chemicals used in cleansing products. Based on your list and the information available, here is the status of each ingredient and potential alternatives available at our store:

1. Disodium Laureth sulfosuccinate: While we may not have this exact ingredient, we have Disodium Lauryl Sulfosuccinate (DLS, Powder). This is a mild anionic surfactant often used as a sulfate-free alternative in gentle cleansing products like shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers. It provides effective cleansing and boosts foam while being gentle on the skin.
2. Sodium coco sulfate: We do not have this exact ingredient. This is a type of anionic surfactant. You can explore other options in our Surfactant / Cleansing Agent category to find a suitable alternative for your formulation needs.
3. Cocamide MEA: We do not have this exact ingredient. This is typically a non-ionic surfactant used as a foam booster and thickener. We have Acetamide MEA, but its function is primarily skin moisturizing, not thickening or foaming. Please check our Surfactant / Cleansing Agent category for suitable foam boosters or thickeners.
4. PEF-80 Sodium Laureth: Assuming this refers to PEG-80 Sorbitan Laurate, we have PEG-80 Sorbitan Laurate (eq. Tween 28). This is a gentle surfactant and foam booster, commonly used in mild cleansing products, including baby shampoos.
5. Sodium Laureth-13 carboxylate: We do not have this exact ingredient. This is an anionic surfactant. Please explore our Surfactant / Cleansing Agent category for alternative anionic surfactants.
6. Guar hydroxypropyl trimonium chloride: We have GuarCat™ Clear, which is chemically Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride. This is a cationic guar gum that acts as a thickener and conditioner, particularly suitable for conditioning shampoos and hair conditioners, providing a clear texture.
7. Decyl Glucoside: We have Decyl Glucoside available. The staff also suggested Lauryl Glucoside as an alternative. Both are gentle, naturally derived non-ionic surfactants suitable for various cleansing products. Lauryl Glucoside (C12-C14) has a longer carbon chain than Decyl Glucoside (C8-C10), which affects their solubility and cleaning properties slightly. Both can be thickened with products like EasyThick™.
8. Sodium myreth sulfate: We do not have this exact ingredient. This is an anionic surfactant. Please explore our Surfactant / Cleansing Agent category for alternative anionic surfactants.
9. PEG-200 Hydrogenated Glyceryl Palmate: The staff suggested EasyThick™ as an alternative. EasyThick™ is a thickener specifically designed for shampoos and liquid soaps, providing a clear, viscous texture. Its INCI name is POLYOXYETHYLENE GLYCERYL ISOSTEARATE.
10. sodium benzoate: We have Sodium Benzoate available. The staff recommended Global Guard™, which is a preservative blend containing Sodium Benzoate and Potassium Sorbate. Global Guard™ is effective in formulations with a pH between 2.0-5.5 and is globally approved for use. We also have Global Guard™ 221, another preservative blend with a broader pH range (2-7).

For the ingredients not directly available (Sodium coco sulfate, Cocamide MEA, Sodium Laureth-13 carboxylate, Sodium myreth sulfate), we recommend browsing our Surfactant / Cleansing Agent category to find suitable alternatives based on the specific properties you require (e.g., anionic, non-ionic, foaming ability, mildness).
