Looking for the building blocks of beautiful formulations? You’re in the right place. Surfactants, co-surfactants, emulsifiers, co-emulsifiers, and gelling agents are used in almost all cosmetic products.
Surfactants: Get That Perfect Clean
From light foaming to deep cleansing, surfactants are the unsung heroes behind every great shampoo and cleanser. Choose from mild, skin-friendly options ideal for facial formulas or stronger surfactants for rinse-off products. We stock both natural surfactants and synthetic types, so whatever you're formulating we’ve got the surfactant to suit.
Emulsifiers: Mix Oil & Water Like a Pro
Our cosmetic emulsifiers make it easy to create stable, smooth emulsions that feel great on the skin.
From natural options for clean beauty lines to high-efficiency synthetic emulsifiers for your products, our collection helps your formulas stay together.
Gelling Agents: Smooth, Thick & Silky Textures
Want to add body, bounce, or structure to your formula? Our skincare gelling agents are your go-to. Whether you’re thickening a serum, suspending actives, or creating that perfect jelly texture, our selection helps you dial in the feel and flow.
