How to formulate an high-performance natural, sulfate-free shampoo ?
Formulating an effective sulfate-free shampoo remains a major technical challenge in the cosmetics industry. Eliminating sulfates often requires a complete rethinking of the formula’s balance to ensure that the quality, density, or stability of the foam is not compromised.
At SurfactGreen, we’ve developed a solution that combines natural ingredients with a premium sensory experience without complicating the formulation process. We’ll show you exactly how to use it in this tutorial video, filmed right in our labs :
Behind the formula : the choice of CosmeGreen™ HF30
To achieve this result, we incorporated CosmeGreen™ HF30, a foaming agent we developed, which is certified as 94% biobased. It is based on a unique synergy derived from our expertise: the combination of amino acid-based surfactants and glycine betaine derivatives.
Our goal with this innovation is to permanently overcome the typical limitations of sulfate-free formulas. Instead of producing a light foam that dissipates quickly, our technology generates a rich, dense, and exceptionally creamy foam that perfectly meets consumer expectations.
The second major advantage lies in its skin tolerance. We designed this system to effectively cleanse the hair while respecting the skin barrier. It is the ideal ingredient for formulating products designed for sensitive scalps or for creating ultra-gentle body washes.
