ALMONDETH-20

Description

ALMONDETH-20 is a versatile emollient and emulsifier derived from almond oil and ethoxylated to enhance its solubility and functionality in cosmetic formulations. This non-ionic surfactant is widely used in both skincare and haircare products due to its excellent compatibility with various ingredients and its ability to create stable emulsions.

In skincare applications, ALMONDETH-20 acts as a mild, non-irritating emulsifier that helps blend oil and water-based components, creating smooth and easily spreadable formulations. It also contributes to the overall moisturizing properties of products, helping to improve skin hydration and softness.

For haircare, ALMONDETH-20 serves as an effective conditioning agent, providing a light, non-greasy feel to hair while enhancing manageability and shine. It aids in the even distribution of active ingredients throughout hair products and can help reduce static electricity in hair.

ALMONDETH-20 is particularly valuable in formulations requiring a gentle, skin-friendly emulsifier. Its low potential for irritation makes it suitable for use in products designed for sensitive skin or scalp. This ingredient is typically used at concentrations ranging from 1% to 5% in finished products, depending on the specific formulation requirements.
