How to Use AccessMILD SCGT-D30 in Your Formulations

Understanding AccessMILD SCGT-D30

Think of a surfactant as the engine of your cleanser—it’s the ingredient that grabs onto dirt and oil so they can be washed away with water. However, not all engines are the same. Harsh surfactants, like sulfates (SLS/SLES), can be overly aggressive, stripping away the skin’s natural oils and leaving it feeling tight and dry. AccessMILD SCGT-D30 is different. It’s a high-performance surfactant derived from coconut oil and a natural amino acid (glutamic acid), making it one of the gentlest cleansers available.

Instead of big, airy bubbles, it creates a wonderfully rich, dense, and creamy foam that feels luxurious on the skin. This makes it perfect for products where a gentle touch is essential, like face washes and baby products. For the chemist, AccessMILD SCGT-D30 is an anionic surfactant that works by reducing the surface tension of water, allowing it to mix with oils and dirt for easy removal. Its amino acid structure makes it exceptionally compatible with the skin, helping to maintain the natural moisture barrier.

Formulation Tips

AccessMILD SCGT-D30 is supplied as a 30% active liquid, which makes it very easy to work with. Add it to the water phase of your formulation. A good starting usage rate is 5–15% for a secondary surfactant role (to boost foam and mildness) or 15–30% when used as a primary surfactant in a gentle cleanser.

This ingredient works beautifully as part of a synergistic surfactant blend. To enhance foam volume and stability, combine it with non-ionic surfactants (like Decyl Glucoside) or amphoteric surfactants (like Cocamidopropyl Betaine). Blending surfactants often results in a product that is even milder and higher-performing than using a single surfactant alone.

AccessMILD SCGT-D30 performs best in formulations with a final pH between 5.0 and 7.0, which aligns perfectly with the natural pH of the skin. Be sure to check and adjust the pH of your final product to fall within this range for optimal stability and performance.

Frequently Asked Questions About AccessMILD SCGT-D30

It’s a primary cleansing agent (a surfactant). Its job is to create foam and wash away dirt, oil, and makeup from the skin and hair. Its main benefit is that it does this very gently without causing dryness.

For a gentle, everyday cleanser, a usage rate of 15–30% is recommended. If you are blending it with other surfactants to improve the mildness of your formula, you can use it at a lower rate of 5–15%.

Sulfates are very strong detergents that can strip the skin of its natural protective oils, leading to irritation and dryness. AccessMILD SCGT-D30 is made from natural amino acids, so it cleanses effectively while being much milder and leaving the skin feeling soft and hydrated.

Yes, it is derived from plant-based sources (coconut oil and fermented corn) and is readily biodegradable. It is approved by Ecocert and COSMOS for use in natural and organic cosmetics.

It pairs wonderfully with other mild surfactants like Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Decyl Glucoside, or Lauryl Glucoside. Combining them can create a cleanser with even better foam and a milder profile.

It creates a very high-quality foam, but it’s different from the big, flash bubbles of sulfates. Expect a more dense, rich, and creamy lather that feels luxurious and is very stable.

It’s perfect for any rinse-off product where gentleness is key. Think sulfate-free shampoos, high-end facial cleansers, baby washes, gentle body washes, and natural hand soaps.
