Cosactive FoamE: Cleaning at the highest level
In the world of modern cosmetics, the right cleansing foam is crucial. Cosactive FoamE offers a perfectly balanced surfactant blend that combines cleansing and care in one step. Cosactive Foam E is the ideal base for versatile products such as micellar water, cleansing foam (mousse) and ready-to-use shower gels.
What is Cosactive FoamE?
Cosactive FoamE is a high-quality surfactant formulation consisting of the following components:
- Decyl glucoside: a mild, sugar-based cleanser
- Cocamidopropyl betaine: a gentle, amphoteric surfactant for creamy foam
- Coco glucoside: another plant-based, skin-friendly cleanser
- Glyceryl Oleate: a moisturising fatty alcohol that provides hydration
This combination makes Cosactive Foam E a real all-rounder: it cleanses effectively but is gentle on the skin and contains glyceryl oleate for an integrated care effect. The result is creamy, fine-pored foam and noticeably nourished skin immediately after rinsing.
The four core ingredients
1. Decyl glucoside: mild, sugar-based cleanser
– belongs to the group of non-ionic surfactants and is made from renewable raw materials such as sugar and coconut oil. It is considered a prime example of green chemistry because it is biodegradable, gentle on the skin and environmentally friendly.
Advantages:
– Very good skin compatibility, also suitable for sensitive skin
– Mild cleansing properties without drying out the skin
– Stabilises the foam in combination with other surfactants.
2. Cocamidopropyl betaine provides a creamy lather and is skin-friendly
Cocamidopropyl betaine is an amphoteric surfactant derived from coconut fatty acids. It is particularly popular because it provides foam stability while being gentle on the skin. It also reduces the irritating effect of other surfactants.
Advantages:
– Provides rich, creamy foam
– Reduces the potential skin irritation of the formulation.
– Supports gentle, non-drying cleansing.
3. Coco Glucoside: a plant-based, skin-friendly cleanser
Coco Glucoside is obtained by combining coconut oil and glucose. Like Decyl Glucoside, it is biodegradable and a prime example of sustainable surfactants. It provides a particularly gentle cleansing effect while improving the viscosity of the formulation.
Advantages:
– Very good skin compatibility, even for sensitive and dry skin
– Skin-friendly cleansing without feelings of tightness
It is plant-based, completely vegan and sustainable.
4. Glyceryl Oleate – the nourishing moisturiser
Glyceryl Oleate is a lipid protector that protects the skin barrier during cleansing and keeps the skin supple. It is produced by the esterification of glycerine with oleic acid and is considered a nourishing lipid that gives back to the skin what could be lost during cleansing.
Advantages:
– Moisturises and has a refatting effect
– supports the skin barrier – ideal for sensitive skin
– leaves the skin feeling noticeably nourished after cleansing.
Why is Cosactive FoamE particularly skin-friendly?
The combination of these four ingredients makes Cosactive Foam E a mild, balanced surfactant base. It cleanses effectively without disturbing the skin barrier and is therefore also ideal for products designed for sensitive, dry or irritation-prone skin. At the same time, the composition complies with the principles of green chemistry: use of plant-based raw materials, sustainable production, high biodegradability.
Areas of application: From micellar water to shower gel, for example
- Micellar water
The gentle sugar surfactants reliably bind make-up and dirt particles without irritating the skin. Glyceryl oleate leaves the skin feeling noticeably supple – ideal for mild and effective facial cleansing.
- Cleansing mousse (foam)
With a proportion of 5–40%, it creates a luxurious, creamy mousse that cleanses thoroughly without drying out the skin. Such a gentle cleansing foam is particularly beneficial for sensitive skin.
- Ready-made shower gel
In shower gels, Cosactive Foam E impresses with its creamy foam and noticeable care. It is plant-based, vegan and free from preservatives – perfect for sustainable shower care products.
Processing tips for this surfactant base
- Dosage: 1–40%, depending on the product category
- Addition: as a separate surfactant phase below 50 °C
