A compact solution for building gentle cleansing formulas at home
Tensidemengsel HT is a balanced blend of surface-active components designed to create rich, stable foam together with a mild cleansing effect in water-based formulations. Such blends are widely used in the production of shampoos, shower gels, intimate hygiene products, baby care items, and household cleaning formulas for dishwashing and delicate surface care. The 50 g packaging is well suited for home formulation and small trial batches, allowing formulators to test a recipe before scaling it up. This item belongs to the Surfactants
category, which brings together the core components for building foaming and cleansing formulas.
The main purpose of this surfactant blend is to remove dirt and oily residue effectively while keeping irritation potential low, which matters greatly for products intended for sensitive skin and children. Around the world, such blends are valued for performing consistently across different water hardness levels and maintaining foam stability even after dilution. The component pairs well with mild amphoteric and nonionic surfactants, such as Cocamide DEA, which further stabilizes foam and thickens the formula, as well as with Sodium Babassuamphoacetate, known for its gentle effect on the skin barrier.
It is recommended to introduce the blend during the water phase mixing stage, at a temperature not exceeding 40-45 degrees, to prevent degradation of active components and loss of foaming properties. Typical dosage ranges from 10 to 25 percent of the total formula weight depending on the desired thickness and foam volume, with the exact ratio best confirmed through small-scale testing. A good practice is to add the blend gradually under continuous low-speed stirring to avoid excessive foam generation during processing. For an even gentler formula, it can be combined with a mild carboxylate such as Olive Carboxylate, which softens the overall cleansing action and suits products positioned as natural.
Store the product in a tightly closed container, in a dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources, at room temperature. Under proper storage conditions, the blend retains stable performance throughout the manufacturer's stated shelf life. If the product has been kept in a cool place, allow it to warm to room temperature before use to make dosing easier.
