  Replacing lauryl sulfate with bioterge as40

  Posted by luiscuevasii on February 3, 2015 at 3:05 am

  Greetings to all.

  I’m just planning to use bioterge as40 from stepan, to replace lauryl eter sulfate as main surfactant in a body and hand soap, I want to know if anyone have experienced with both and can tell me if is a good choice.

  I’m using 15%-20% of lauryl how many of bioterge I need to use to get the same foaming and cleaning sensation. I’m going to keep cocoamidoDEA and coco propil betaine in the formula.

  If you are reformulating your product I would consider replacing the Cocamide DEA with Cocamide MEA. The Cocamide DEA is now classified as possibly carcinogenic to humans due to the DEA content.

  Unfortunately I don’t have any experience with the Bioterge but I would suggest matching your active surfactant levels and starting there.
