Cromollient SCE in cleansers: tuning surfactant sensory and after-feel

Cromollient SCE has INCI Di-PPG-2 Myreth-10 Adipate and is particularly useful as a functional emollient in surfactant systems. The product information lists 1–5% for surfactant formulas and solubility in surfactants, mineral oil and most vegetable oils.

Cleansing performance is more than foam

A cleanser is also judged by slip, rinse profile and post-wash feel. A surfactant-compatible emollient can help tune that sensory balance.

Bench workflow

1.     Prepare a control surfactant base.

2.     Record pH, viscosity and foam.

3.     Add the selected Cromollient SCE level.

4.     Recheck pH and rheology.

5.     Compare rinse and after-feel.

6.     Retain stability samples.

Use Cromollient SCE 50 g for trials and Cromollient SCE 1 kg for larger production.

Conclusion

Cromollient SCE should be optimized inside the complete surfactant system. Foam, clarity, viscosity and after-feel together determine the useful level.
