FORMULATING FOR MILDNESS
Ingredients Focus: formulating for mildness

Many factors can contribute to consumers deciding that they need to use products that make a claim for mildness. Stress and pollution can have an impact on levels of skin sensitivity, and now we also have the issue of skin barrier breakdown as a result of an enormous increase in the amount of hand sanitiser we are all applying daily. But even before this, more and more consumers were claiming that they had sensitive skin and were requesting milder formulations to help ensure their skin was kept comfortable. Ingredient suppliers have been developing
a new generation of products that offer formulators high levels of efficacy while ensuring that they deliver their cleansing power in a way that is mild to skin and eyes.
Mild ingredients Colonial Chemical has introduced Cola Teric CAHS (INCI: Sodium Cocoamphohydroxypropylsulfonate) to its offering of sustainable amphoteric products. Cola Teric CAHS is a mild, biodegradable
amphoteric surfactant suitable for all types of foaming cleansers. This product lowers overall irritation when used in formulation with commonly used primary surfactants. It is an ideal replacement for amphoacetate chemistry, offering higher biorenewable content, improved compatibility with hard water, and higher purity. Cola Teric CAHS is especially well suited for gentle personal care products. Cola Teric CAHS offers identical foam

performance when compared to a standard cocoamphoacetate. ColaTeric CAHS is measured at 4% solids for a Draize equivalent score of 6.1 and considered “Minimally Irritating.” This score correlates to the OECD TG 405 Acute Eye Irritation/Corrosion (Draize) Test which is globally approved, completely cruelty-free and mathematically correlated to the Draize equivalent score. Cola Teric CAHS offers superior viscosity
building capability compared to traditional amphoacetates and is useful in luxury body washes to provide mildness and foam stabilisation, in shampoos for improved foam and viscosity boosting, and in facial cleansers for its excellent skin feel. Cola Teric CAHS also provides wet wipe formulations with exceptionally mild foaming and cleansing. Hostapon sodium cocoyl isethionates (SCI) are mild, high-foaming, anionic surfactants
available from Clariant. Clariant brings a global perspective to the personal care market, as well as over seventy years of experience in the area of isethionate production. Hostapon SCI products are highly suited for use in syndet bars, combo bars, liquid soaps and a variety of other personal care products. Hostapon SCI produces a creamy and
abundant lather that cleanses gently and leaves the skin with a luxurious, silky feel. It is also hard water tolerant and will not leave a soap film or residue like ordinary soaps. In combo bars, or combars, in which soap and detergent products are formulated together, Hostapon SCI enhances the lathering properties of the bar in hard water. Use of sodium cocoyl isethionate in combo bars also improves their lime soap dispersion properties, thus producing a rich lather that rinses away readily and leaves little soap residue. Hostapon SCI contributes its excellent lathering, mildness and soft skin afterfeel to a variety of liquid personal care products, such as liquid soaps, shampoos, facial cleansers, and shower gels. Products can be formulated to achieve either a clear or a pearlescent appearance, using either Hostapon SCI 85 or Hostapon SCI 65. Hostapon SCI can also be used in a wide

variety of other personal care products, such as hair mousse, shaving foams, anywhere that mildness and rich dense foam are desired. Rheance One from Evonik is a glycolipid- based platform of green biosurfactants
