In response to the growing demand for skin-friendly and natural surfactants, Musim Mas has unveiled its new MASPHATE® CD 100N. This quality surfactant is also 100% coconut-derived, unlike most sodium coco sulphate (SCS) surfactants, marking a significant step toward meeting the evolving needs of the Home and Personal Care (HPC) sector. In this article, we’ll explore the growing trends in surfactants, Musim Mas’ solution to address these trends, and the group’s commitment to sustainability.
Key takeaways
- MASPHATE® CD 100N is a Sodium Coco Sulphate (SCS) surfactant from Musim Mas made entirely from coconut oil. Most SCS surfactants in its class are not 100% coconut-derived, so it gives home and personal care (HPC) manufacturers another feedstock option.
- Two trends are driving demand. Consumers want milder ingredients because of sensitive-skin concerns and tighter rules on substances like 1,4-dioxane. Manufacturers are also moving from petroleum-based ingredients to renewable, bio-based ones.
- It’s designed to be milder on skin. Its larger molecular structure means it irritates the skin less than traditional surfactants.
- It’s free of 1,4-dioxane, which helps brands stay ahead of tightening rules on that substance.
- It performs well in formulations. It gives excellent viscosity and a rich foam, and it suits syndet bars, body washes and other personal care products.
- Its safety and environmental claims are backed by third parties. The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel has assessed the ingredient as safe for cosmetics. It’s listed on CleanGredients against the US EPA Safer Choice standard. It’s made under ISO 9001 quality standards.
- Musim Mas is committed to 100% traceability in its coconut sourcing. Contact Musim Mas to request samples or specs for MASPHATE® CD 100N.
Trends in the Surfactant Industry
The HPC sector is experiencing a notable shift in consumer preferences, with a heightened awareness of the potential effects of various ingredients on the skin. Factors such as the rise in sensitive skin concerns, increased awareness of ingredient impact, innovation in formulations, and evolving regulatory environments, particularly concerning substances like 1,4-dioxane, are driving this change.
Moreover, there is a parallel surge in the demand for environmentally friendly surfactants, with consumers and manufacturers alike recognizing the importance of transitioning from petroleum-based ingredients to renewable, bio-based materials. Statistics indicate a growing global inclination towards sustainable products, highlighting the need for eco-friendly alternatives in the surfactant industry.
High-Quality Coconut Surfactants
In response to these trends, Musim Mas has launched MASPHATE® CD100N, a high-quality surfactant derived exclusively from coconut. Unlike other surfactants in its class, MASPHATE® CD100N is a Sodium Coco Sulphate (SCS) based surfactant that distinguishes itself by being 100% coconut-derived, offering HPC producers an opportunity to diversify their feedstock and product portfolios.
1. Skin-Friendly
MASPHATE® CD100N boasts a larger molecular structure, resulting in a milder impact on the skin and significantly less irritation compared to traditional surfactants.
2. Free of 1,4-Dioxane
Addressing regulatory concerns, MASPHATE® CD100N is entirely free of 1,4-dioxane, providing consumers with a safe and reliable choice for their personal care products.
3. Natural and Biodegradable
Derived from 100% coconut oil, MASPHATE® CD100N aligns with the growing demand for natural and biodegradable ingredients.
4. Luxurious Foam and Viscosity
Offering excellent viscosity and producing a luxurious foam, MASPHATE® CD100N enhances the sensory experience of personal care products.
5. Versatile Applications
MASPHATE® CD100N finds applications in a broad range of products, including syndet bars, body washes, and other personal care formulations.
6. Scientific Validation
MASPHATE® CD100N has undergone rigorous scientific evaluation by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel, which deemed it safe for use in cosmetic formulations and is listed on CleanGredients’ Safer Choice standard. The product is tested in state-of-the-art laboratories, and adheres to Musim Mas’ stringent quality standards including ISO 9001.
Leveraging its strong reputation for quality and sustainability in the palm oil sector, Musim Mas extends these principles to its coconut products and derivatives. Musim Mas is committed to 100% traceability for our coconut sourcing.
MASPHATE® CD100N also aligns with environmental certifications, meeting the U.S. EPA Safer Choice and being listed on Cleangredients.org, further affirming Musim Mas’ commitment to producing eco-friendly and sustainable products.
