Structure® M3 co-surfactant is an anionic, hydrophobically modified maltodextrin that significantly reduces the irritation potential of commonly used surfactant systems. Mildness: Structure M3 significantly reduces the irritation potential of the surfactant system without compromising cleansing or foaming. Designed with sustainability in mind, it is available as a waterless, free-flowing powder of high natural content (NOI =85) and is readily biodegradable (per OECD 301B). Additionally, it is cold-water processable and compatible with both sulfate- and sulfate-free surfactant systems. Structure® M3 co-surfactant is compatible with a wide range of commonly used rheology modifiers and emulsion stabilizers such as dehydroxanthan Gum (Amaze® XT polymer), Ceteareth-60 Myristyl Glycol (Elfacos® GT 282S nonionic copolymer), Acrylates Copolymer (Balance® RCFg polymer), Polyethylene Glycols and Carbomer, among others.
