Easy-to-handle liquid cocoyl taurate for Cleansing
Geropon® TC Clear MB is an innovative clear liquid taurate (sulfate-free) surfactant, notable for its high purity and ease of use. It provides outstanding foaming properties and a well-balanced hair feel between the wet and dry hair states.
Unlike traditional paste taurates, it is pourable at room temperature and does not require heating & mixing before use, making it much easier to use. It can be used in various applications including body wash, shampoo, facial cleanser, hand soap, toothpaste, mouthwash, micellar water, wipes.
The sulfate-free trend is reshaping beauty care
As consumers seek clean beauty solutions that support self-care, the industry needs to answer with gentler and high-performance formulations. By joining the sulfate-free movement, brands can offer effective yet mild products that meet rising demand for skin-friendly solutions. Investing in sulfate-free innovation presents a strategic opportunity for manufacturers to differentiate and lead in this evolving market.
Navigating Taurate Challenges
Taurates are known to be effective sulfate-free surfactants as they offer a broad pH flexibility, good foaming properties and also mild but effective cleansing while having a high natural origin index. However, conventional taurates present real handling and stability challenges. They have storage stability issues and may require heating and mixing before use resulting in increased labor and production time. They can also face compatibility limitations with other ingredients due to the high salt level they convey, impacting formulation versatility and product performance.
How is Geropon® TC Clear MB revolutionizing Taurate use?
Geropon® TC Clear MB overcomes the traditional challenges of taurates, offering a seamless and efficient solution:
- Clear, fully stable liquid: while Geropon TC Clear MB starts whitening & thickening below 15°C, it does not phase-separate. It turns clear again once back to room temperature. It is also color and phase stable upon heating.
- No heat & mix required before use As Geropon TC Clear MB does not phase-separate during storage and remains chemically homogeneous, it does not require heat & mix before use, significantly reducing cycle time and , streamlining the production process.
- Microbial stability: fully stable against microbial contamination, ensuring product safety and longevity.
- Ultra low salt content: leads to superior compatibility with salt-sensitive ingredients (cationic polymers, natural thickening polymers, sodium cocoyl isethionate), greatly increasing formulation flexibility, and the possibility to design high performance formulations while being sulfate-free
- Broad ph stability: maintains stability across a wide ph range (3 - 11), suitable for diverse formulations.
- Cold processable: ideal for creating formulations without the need for heat, ideal for continuous process
- Outstanding foaming and rinsability properties
What consumer needs does it address?
