It has a long history of significant usage, with numerous products and increasing registration numbers.
2. Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES)
A powerful cleanser and foaming agent, though its synthesis may produce dioxane, requiring strict raw material selection. Often blended with other surfactants to reduce irritation, it is not ideal for sensitive skin. Historically, it has high usage, numerous products, and noticeable growth in new registrations.
3. Stearic Acid
Commonly used as an emulsifier and auxiliary agent in cosmetics, such as in Estée Lauder’s cleansers. It has a long history of usage, a large number of products, but relatively slow growth in registrations.
4. Cocamide DEA
A non-ionic surfactant with many advantages, though it cannot be used in products containing nitrosating agents. Safe for rinse-off products and certain concentrations of leave-on products, it has high product and registration counts, although registrations have decreased recently.
5. Cocamide MEA
A mild foaming agent used in facial and body cleansing products, with excellent foaming performance and low irritation, suitable for various skin types. Both product and registration numbers are high, with an upward trend in registrations.
6. Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate
An anionic amino acid surfactant with low toxicity, low irritation, and good biodegradability. Combining multiple advantages, it is widely used in skin and hair care as well as oral hygiene products. Both product and registration numbers are high with noticeable growth.
7. Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS)
Widely applied with good emulsification capabilities but has potential toxicity. High concentrations or prolonged exposure may irritate skin and mucous membranes. Product and registration numbers are high, but registrations have declined in the past year.
8. Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate
Provides excellent cleaning and foaming properties with good stability and biodegradability. It is widely used in cosmetics and other industries, with high product and registration counts and growth in registrations.
9. Lauric Acid
A saturated fatty acid with antibacterial properties, used in skincare products and with significant industrial applications. Product and registration numbers are high, but registrations have declined in the past year.
10. Myristic Acid
A fatty acid used as an auxiliary agent in various products. Product and registration counts are high, but registrations have seen a significant decline recently.
11. Decyl Glucoside
A new non-ionic surfactant that is environmentally friendly and highly efficient. Performs well in blends with other surfactants. Product and registration numbers are high, with a sharp increase in registrations in the past year.
12. Coco Glucoside
A green surfactant with comprehensive performance and low irritation. Its cleansing power is weaker and needs to be paired with other surfactants. Product and registration counts are high, with growth in registrations.
13. Sodium Lauroyl Glutamate
An amino acid-based surfactant that is gentle and safe, with good foaming, cleansing, and moisturizing properties. Product and registration counts are high and continue to grow.
