ALPHA OLEFIN SULFONATE (COSMETIC GRADE)

Alpha Olefin Sulfonate (AOS) is a high-performance surfactant widely used in personal care and cosmetic formulations. Known for its excellent foaming and cleansing properties, AOS is a biodegradable, sulfate-free surfactant that provides gentle yet effective cleansing. It is suitable for use in shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, and other personal care products. AOS is valued for its mildness, making it ideal for sensitive skin formulations, while still delivering a rich lather and a deep clean.

POTENTIAL COSMETIC BENEFITS

• Gentle Cleansing: Removes dirt, oil, and impurities without stripping the skin or hair of natural moisture.
• Mild on Skin: Non-irritating and suitable for sensitive skin and scalp.
• Excellent Foaming: Produces a rich, creamy lather, enhancing the sensory experience of personal care products.
• Sulfate-Free Alternative: Ideal for sulfate-free formulations, providing effective cleansing without the harshness of traditional sulfates.
• Versatility: Compatible with a wide range of other surfactants, allowing for easy formulation of custom products.
• Eco-Friendly: Biodegradable, making it an environmentally friendly choice for sustainable formulations.

PRECAUTIONS

• Concentration: Use at recommended levels (generally 5-30%) in formulations, depending on the product type. Higher concentrations may cause dryness or irritation.
• pH Sensitivity: Ensure proper pH adjustment in formulations (typically 5.5–7.0) to maintain mildness and stability.
• Avoid Inhalation: When handling AOS in powder form, use protective equipment to prevent inhalation of fine particles.
• Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture, to maintain quality and performance.
• Formulation Compatibility: Avoid mixing with incompatible ingredients, such as strong acids or oxidizing agents, without proper formulation guidance.

USAGE TIPS

• Incorporate into shampoos and body washes for gentle yet effective cleansing and foaming.
• Blend with other surfactants to create balanced formulations with desired properties like conditioning or thickening.
• Use in sulfate-free facial cleansers to achieve a mild, non-drying formula.
• Suitable for kids’ and sensitive-skin products due to its low-irritation profile.
