Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose
- INCI:
- Cellulose Gum
- Also known as:
- CMC · Cellulose gum
Cellulose-derived polymer used as an anti-redeposition agent in laundry detergents: it keeps soil suspended in the wash water and helps prevent it from returning to the fabric. It also adds viscosity and stability to liquid formulas. Used in powder detergents, liquid detergents, and laundry soaps.

Cocamide DEA
Classic thickener and foam stabilizer for anionic surfactant systems. It adds body and superfatting to liquid detergents and dishwashing liquids, and helps maintain foam in the presence of greasy soil. A traditional raw material in the cleaning and personal care industry.
Lauramine Oxide
Lauramine Oxide
Amphoteric surfactant that boosts and stabilizes the foam of anionic systems and adds viscosity to the formula. It stands out for its compatibility with quaternary ammonium compounds, which makes it common in disinfectant cleaners. Used in dishwashing liquids, foaming cleaners, and cleaning products with cationic biocides.
Sodium Sulfate
Sodium Sulfate
Inorganic salt used as a filler and flow agent in powder detergents, and as a viscosity regulator in liquid anionic surfactant systems. It adds volume and flowability to the finished product at low cost. A standard raw material in the detergent industry and in textile dyeing.
Carbomer
Carbomer
Cross-linked acrylic polymer, the global standard for thickening and stabilizing gels and emulsions. Once neutralized, it produces transparent gels with a characteristic rheology, and it suspends particles and actives with great efficiency at low use levels.
