Easy Foam (Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate), 8oz

Natural, food grade, anionic surfactant derived from the sodium salt of fatty acids and sarcosine amino acids. EasyFoam is one of the oldest running cleansing agents and has been used in dental hygiene since the original production of toothpaste. Unlike many others on the market, EasyFoam (Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate) is pure and a min. 95% active.

Like the Lactylates, EasyFoam is of acyl structure making it ideal for natural cleansing systems where it offers an abundance of soft light foam.

Offering unsurpassed hair support, and smooth feel on application, this is the surfactant of choice for all of your natural hair cleansers.

The high water solubility makes this the perfect choice for foaming bath powders, bath bombs, and bath powders or soaks. When you develop bath bombs with the classic baking soda and citric acid you can take them to the next level by giving them a nice foaming quality with the addition of EasyFoam. As the bath bomb begins to fizz it will create enough friction to produce the foam taking your fizz bath to a foam bath, and the ultimate bath soak. This may also be added to bath salts and have them added to running water for foam. Don't forget, you can also add emollience to your bath bombs and bath powder soaks by adding a small amount of your favorite carrier oil so that you can offer your customer the ultimate foaming, emollient, bath bomb or bath powder soak.

Phytomulse Chlorella

Phytomulse™ Chlorella

Chlorella vulgaris is a type of freshwater algae rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants including B vitamins, iron, carotenoids, and vitamin C. Chlorella is also packed with amino acids, which, as we know, are the building blocks of collagen. In Japan, herbal remedies to treat many different illnesses include Chlorella vulgaris because it contains the highest chlorophyll concentration of any plant. Chlorophyll contains wound healing and tissue regeneration properties and acts like a natural antibiotic
Chlorella can be useful in treating stretch marks or sun damaged skin due to its abundant amino acid content. Amino acids have the ability to restructure and smooth the skin’s surface. This skin conditioning and protecting agent is believed to have powerful anti-aging benefits, mainly due to the fact that it is a rich source of carotenoids- a family of nutrients that, when ingested, deposit into the skin and protect it from the harmful effects of UV rays. In addition, Chlorella vulgaris is an excellent source of methyl-cobolamine, the most absorbable form of vitamin B12- useful in maintaining healthy, youthful-looking skin

SCIENCE
The Phytomulse™ Product Line is a blend of non-ionic surfactants intended to simplify and differentiate emulsionformulation. Phytomulse™ is especially useful in stabilizing emulsion formulations that have a high oil phase. Formulas that contain 30% oil or more are very problematic to stabilize in an O/W emulsions. The Phytomulse™ Product Line is able to efficiently and effectively stabilize this phase due to the combination of key surfactants and the formation of unique liquid crystals. Any Phytomulse™ product should be added to the oily phase of an emulsion and heated to <80C. These emulsifying systems are compatible with most gums and polymers, which may be used to adjust the texture of the formula itself.

BENEFITS
The Phytomulse™ Product Line is a complete emulsifying system that provides an opportunity for customization and consistency within your line of products. The Phytomulse™ emulsifying system is compatible with a wide range of emollients including: natural oils, silicones, esters, and hydrocarbons. Furthermore, in formulations the Phytomulse™ line creates an aesthetically pleasant, full-bodied texture, satiny-smooth rub in, and sinuous end feel.
EFFICACY
Emulsions can be formulated over a wide range of viscosities which have rheologies from flowing fluids to thick, viscous creams. The Phytomuse™ Product Line can be used with polymeric, thickening agents, natural gums and other viscosity modifiers and stabilizers. When an emulsion incorporates the Phytomulse™ Product Line it produces an immediate improvement in the sensorial aesthetics of a product and increases spreadability from initial contact through complete absorption. The response is an elegant, soft sensation that persists for hours after applying the product. These emulsions are also very fine in texture, amplifying their ability to provide a luxurious, shiny appearance on the skin.
