INCI Name: Water, Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Lauric Acid, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin
Product Overview: Top-active SST is made by emulsifying hydrogenated castor oil through a specific process, showing a stable liquid crystal phase under the microscope. It also thickens, and offers acid resistance, strong water retention, shear resistance, anti-aging, freeze-thaw and heat stability. It lets different ingredients form both a uniform emulsion and a stable gel, giving strong suspension and stabilization. The preservatives used are those commonly used in daily-care formulas.
Key Benefits:
• Excellent high-temperature stability, solving thinning, separation and water release in personal care formulas
• Effectively suspends silicones, pearlizers, oils and ZPT in shampoos; 2-3% gives performance equivalent to conventional SF-1 (verified: 3% suspends 1% ZPT-50 in a standard formula)
• Does not reduce rinse slip in shampoos, avoiding the loss of slip caused by conventional suspenders such as TAB and SF-1
• Suspends pearlizers, oils and herbal particles in body washes
• Improves the stability of regular soap-based facial cleansers, preventing water release, separation and thinning at high temperatures
Applications:
• Shampoos
• Body washes
• Facial cleansers
