Saboderm SHO is a liquid thickening ingredient for shampoos, shower and bath preparations. Thanks to its favorable synergy with NaCl and to its low use concentration, it can be employed to thicken products with low active principle; in the same time, owing to its mild properties and to its good skin compatibility, it results suitable for the thickening of delicate detergent systems. It has compatibility to the most of raw materials generally employed in cosmetics and can also be used in combination to others thickeners to reduce the irritant effect of the primary surfactants. It is particularly easy to handle because at room temperature is liquid. Saboderm SHO is a moderate booster because it doesn’t reduce the foam volume and, conversely to Cocamide DEA, it is not a foaming substance.
