The section brings together raw materials for building cleansing and conditioning hair formulas. The core consists of surfactants, thickeners, film-forming proteins and water-soluble lipid additives. Each type serves a distinct purpose: surfactants provide soil removal and foam, thickeners control viscosity, while conditioning agents improve slip and after-feel.

A separate group includes ready-to-dilute concentrated bases that already carry a balanced surfactant system and can be thinned with water. These bases combine easily with standalone actives such as collagen or liquid silk. The section also features water-soluble oils that allow introduction of a lipid component into clear aqueous systems without separation risk. Shampoo ingredients

Differences between forms and raw material types

Ready-to-dilute bases differ from neat surfactants in degree of preparation. The former already contain thickeners and stabilizers, the latter require independent viscosity adjustment. Conditioning additives such as Polyquaternium 7, 1 L are used at low percentages and do not affect foam of the primary base. Water-soluble oils, by contrast, are added to modify sensory properties and work with any surfactant type.

Pre-blended oil mixes differ from single ingredients by their balanced composition. They simplify formulation work because proportions are already set for a specific effect. Pure components, however, allow flexible ratio adjustments according to the exact task.

Selection and specification guidance

Choice of raw material starts from the desired final texture and clarity. Light rinse-off formulas usually rely on liquid surfactant concentrates. Richer textures benefit from water-soluble lipids and film-forming agents. Compatibility by pH and ionic charge must be checked, especially when combining different surfactants.

Manufacturers value batch-to-batch consistency and full documentation supplied with every delivery. This ensures identical finished-product performance when scaling to larger volumes of raw material.

Applications in cosmetic formulas

Ingredients from the section are used not only in hair care but also in intimate hygiene products, baby cosmetics and facial cleansing foams. The same surfactants and thickeners transfer readily between recipes when viscosity requirements change. Functional Components help locate additional actives to expand a product range.

Water-soluble oils and protein additives are introduced at the final mixing stage after the base has cooled. This preserves their functional properties and prevents possible interactions with surfactants at elevated temperatures.

Bulk supply for production and storage

Production volumes are supported by a range of pack sizes suited to large-batch work. Consistency of specifications across deliveries is confirmed by accompanying documentation. Scalposine BC10101, 1 kg illustrates a recent arrival suitable for trials in existing recipes.

Storage is recommended at 15-25 °C in a dry area protected from direct light. Liquid forms should be kept from freezing, while powdered ingredients must stay dry to maintain original solubility and activity values.

FAQ

Can the same surfactants be used across different cleansing formats?

Yes, most surfactants in the section suit both hair and body bases provided thickeners and final pH are adjusted accordingly.

At what levels are conditioning additives incorporated?

Film-forming proteins and polymers are typically dosed between 0.5 and 3 % depending on the desired slip, without affecting foam performance of the base.

How to prevent separation when adding oils to clear formulas?

Special water-soluble lipid forms are used; they disperse evenly in the aqueous phase without extra emulsification.

Are separate documents supplied with multiple batches?

Every delivery includes the complete documentation set confirming specification compliance regardless of order volume.
