How to Use AccessMILD M-30 in Your Formulations

What AccessMILD M-30 Does

Think of a surfactant as the ingredient that does the heavy lifting in any cleansing product. It grabs onto dirt and oil so they can be rinsed away with water. Some common surfactants, like sulfates (SLS/SLES), can be harsh and strip the skin or hair of natural moisture. AccessMILD M-30 is different. It is a high-performance, sulfate-free surfactant that cleanses effectively with exceptional mildness.

Derived from sarcosine (a natural amino acid), AccessMILD M-30 generates a rich, dense, creamy foam with a premium sensory feel. Unlike big, airy bubbles from some systems, its lather is fine, stable, and conditioning. For advanced formulators, it is an anionic surfactant that performs well as both a primary and secondary surfactant, helping reduce overall irritation potential while improving foam quality. It leaves skin and hair feeling soft and conditioned, not tight or stripped.

Formulation Tips

Typical usage rate: 3–15%.

As a secondary surfactant (3–5%): Add to boost foam, make lather creamier, and reduce the harshness of primary surfactants.
As a primary surfactant (5–15%): Use as the main cleanser for ultra-mild products such as sensitive skin facial cleansers and baby washes.

Add AccessMILD M-30 to the water phase. It performs best at pH 5.0–7.0 and is compatible with most non-ionic and amphoteric surfactants, as well as common conditioning agents, enabling sophisticated and synergistic cleansing systems.
