How to Use AccessPON ACS-30K in Your Formulations
Understanding AccessPON ACS-30K
AccessPON ACS-30K is the cleansing engine of your formula—the ingredient that lifts away oils, dirt, and impurities while creating satisfying, stable foam. Designed for modern, sulfate-free systems, it delivers a rich, creamy lather with exceptional mildness on skin and scalp.
Technically, AccessPON ACS-30K is a synergistic blend of a mild amino acid–based anionic surfactant (Sodium Cocoyl Alaninate) and a gentle amphoteric surfactant (Sodium Cocoamphohydroxypropylsulfonate). The anionic component provides efficient cleansing and dense, creamy foam, while the amphoteric component boosts foam stability and reduces irritation potential. Together, they create a high-performance, sulfate-free system ideal for facial cleansers, body washes, and shampoos where comfort and creamy lather are key.
Formulation Tips
AccessPON ACS-30K is water-soluble and functions as a primary surfactant base. A typical usage range is 5–30% of the total formula, depending on desired mildness and foam:
- 5–10%: ultra-gentle facial cleansers and mild baby cleansers
- 10–20%: daily face washes, shampoos, and hand soaps
- 20–30%: rich, high-foam body washes and clarifying cleansers
Add to the water phase with gentle stirring; modest heat can aid incorporation. It thickens readily with common rheology modifiers (e.g., gums or acrylic polymers) and pairs well with other mild surfactants to tailor foam character, viscosity, or skin feel. Target a pH of 5.0–7.0 for optimal performance and skin comfort.
