ALPHA OLEFIN SULFONATE LIQUID

Alpha olefin sulfonate is a mixture of long chain sulfonate salts prepared by the sulfonation of alpha olefins. Alpha-olefin sulfonate are produced by oligomerization of ethylene and by Fischer-Tropsch synthesis followed by purification. Mild anionic, high-foaming & well-emulsifying surfactant. Made primarily from coconut oils.  Stable at a wide pH range and can therefore be used in acidic environments. 38% active substances.

COSMETICS BENEFITS: 

• Mild primary surfactant with excellent cleansing and degreasing properties (but non-drying on skin & mucous membranes).
• Good wetting effect, foam booster, slight viscosity enhancer
• Easily compatible with other surfactants including non-ionic, amphoteric or anionic co-surfactants
• Can be used for making sulfate-free cleansing products.
• When used in bubble baths it produces a copious foam to give you a rich bathing and relaxing experience.
• It enhances the viscosity of your formulation and you can find it in almost all liquid detergents.
