Used as emollients, based on renewable sources, and produced under high-quality control and regulatory scrutiny, these technologies offer a series of benefits as they hydrate, soften and smooth the surface of skin. Esters for this industry are either based on fatty acids or the correspondent oil. Sometimes, they are also used as solvent to help compound other ingredients in proper consistency.
Generally used to provides excellent conditioning and combability properties in hair conditioning applications. Both can be neutralized with a variety of acids such as citric acid or lactic acid to form a cationic amine salt. Other raw material sources for amides are based on isosteric acid or similar.
Coco-based or similar renewable technologies are often used in combination with other chemistries to meet all desired requirements – like dissolution of soil and formation of foam in combination with a good skin tolerance. Imidazolines are particularly used in shampoo as anti-stat and conditioning.
