Airedale Group’s new Life Science division specialises in formulation chemistry for cosmetics, personal care, hygiene and detergency product solutions.
Amphoteric surfactants are commonly used in personal care products, like shampoos, cleansers and cosmetics. They have zero net charge and help to reduce the surface tension of water across a wide pH range, enhancing formulation effectiveness.
Anionic surfactants are frequently used in personal care products, soaps, detergents and other cleaning formulations. They work to remove dirt and stains by reducing water surface tension.
The stabilising effects of chelates are used in cosmetics to protect against unwanted metal ion reactions in hair care and soaps.
Hydrotropes are known to enhance the solubility of surfactants and are key in laundry and cleaning products.
A range of products with applications including buffering and thickening of solutions.
Nonionic surfactants reduce the surface tension of water, improving the mixing of substances. They can be used in personal care and detergent products, particularly for low-foam formulations and for emulsifying oils.
Phosphonates soften water and are resistant to corrosion. They are most commonly used in cosmetics and shampoo.
