Amphoteric Surfactants
Amphoteric surfactants are unique surface-active agents that can act as either anionic or cationic surfactants depending on the pH of the solution. These molecules contain both acidic (carboxyl or sulfonic) and basic (amine or quaternary ammonium) functional groups, giving them high versatility, mildness, and compatibility with other surfactants. Amphoteric surfactants are widely used in personal care, household cleaning, industrial applications, pharmaceuticals, and specialty formulations where low irritation and effective cleansing are critical. Common examples include Cocamidopropyl Betaine and Lauryl Betaine.
Booster Emulsifier
Booster Emulsifier is a specialized surfactant-based additive formulated to enhance the stability, texture, and uniformity of emulsions in food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical formulations. It acts by reducing surface tension between immiscible liquids such as oil and water, facilitating the formation of stable, homogeneous emulsions. Booster Emulsifier is valued for its ability to improve product appearance, extend shelf life, and enhance sensory properties such as mouthfeel and creaminess. It is typically available as a liquid or powder and compatible with a wide range of ingredients.
Ceteareth 25 Ginonic
Ceteareth 25 Ginonic CSA 25 is a nonionic surfactant and emulsifier derived from the ethoxylation of cetearyl alcohol, incorporating approximately 20 ethylene oxide units per molecule. It appears as a white to off-white waxy solid or viscous liquid, depending on temperature and formulation. This emulsifier is widely used in cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and industrial formulations for its excellent ability to stabilize oil-in-water emulsions, improve texture, and enhance the sensory properties of finished products. Its high hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) makes it especially effective in forming stable emulsions and solubilizing lipophilic ingredients in aqueous phases. Ceteareth 20 is valued for its mildness, broad compatibility, and multifunctional performance.
Cetomacrogel 1000BP
Cetomacrogel 1000BP is a high molecular weight polyethylene glycol (PEG) derivative, typically used as a thickening agent, emulsifier, and stabilizer in pharmaceutical and cosmetic formulations. It appears as a white to off-white, waxy solid or flakes with a neutral odor. Known for its excellent water solubility and compatibility with various ingredients, Cetomacrogel 1000BP enhances texture, viscosity, and stability in creams, ointments, and gels. It serves as a hydrophilic vehicle base in topical and oral pharmaceutical preparations and improves product spreadability and skin feel.
Cocamino Propyl Betaine Desmocol
Cocamino Propyl Betaine Desmocol is a mild amphoteric surfactant derived from coconut oil fatty acids and amino acids. It appears as a clear to slightly hazy liquid with a faint coconut-like odor.

Being a zwitterionic surfactant, it is compatible with anionic, cationic, and nonionic surfactants, enhancing the mildness and stability of formulations. The 30% active solution is easy to handle and incorporate in various cosmetic and detergent products. It functions as a foam booster, viscosity builder, and anti-irritant agent, making it a versatile ingredient in mild formulations.
Emulsifying Wax Non ionic
Emulsifying Wax Non ionic is a self-emulsifying, non-ionic wax blend composed primarily of fatty alcohols (typically cetostearyl alcohol or stearyl alcohol) and non-ionic surfactants like polyethylene glycol (PEG) derivatives. It is used to stabilize oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions without relying on ionic charges, making it highly compatible with a wide range of ingredients, including both cationic and anionic components. This wax is commonly found in white, odorless solid flakes or pellets and is dispersible in hot water to form smooth, stable emulsions. It is widely used in cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and industrial applications where gentle emulsification, stability, and broad pH compatibility are needed.
