Emollients for softening and smoothing are complex mixtures of chemical agents. Humectants are used in topical dosage forms to increase the solubility of the active ingredient. PG USP also uses additives, such as an emulsion stabilizer, dispersant, coupling agent, and viscosity modifier, in pharmaceutical applications.

MITAINE CAPHS High foaming and mild amphoteric surfactant. Excellent foam and viscosity building with anionic systems.

EA plus CDEA from Brillachem is an exceptional nonionic surfactant known for its superior thickening, foaming, and foam-stabilizing abilities. It is ideal for shampoos, liquid soaps, and detergents and enhances wetting, cleaning, and dispersing performance while improving foam richness and stability when combined with anionic surfactants like LAS. Additionally, CDEA helps reduce skin irritation, softens fibers such as wool, and boosts the overall washing effect, making it a versatile choice for personal care, household, and industrial cleaning products.

Berol Nexxt is a high-performance, clear liquid surfactant solution with 65% active content, designed for enhanced cleaning and product stability in hard surface and laundry applications with moderate foam. It is a non-quat hydrotrope with cosurfactant properties, biodegradable, low in color, and compatible with various surfactant systems, making it ideal for degreasing and tackling oily soils. As a REACH-exempt polymer, this novel addition to the Nouryon range of specialties is highly compatible with a variety of nonionic and anionic surfactant backbones.
