How to Use AccessPON BL 101 in Your Formulations
What AccessPON BL 101 Does
AccessPON BL 101 is a smart, all-in-one cleansing system that takes the guesswork out of making high-quality, sulfate-free products. Think of it as a pre-made “engine” for your shampoos and body washes. It combines several ingredients that work together to create the perfect cleanse: gentle surfactants for cleaning, foam boosters for a rich lather, and a conditioner for a soft finish.
This blend features Sodium Lauroyl Isethionate and Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate—two of the mildest cleansing agents available—paired with Lauryl Glucoside, a sugar-derived surfactant that enhances mildness and boosts foam. It also includes Guar Hydroxypropyltrimomium Chloride, a cationic conditioning polymer from the guar bean that leaves hair and skin feeling silky and smooth. Together, they deliver effective cleansing without stripping the skin or hair of natural moisture, producing a creamy, luxurious foam and a soft after-feel.
Formulation Tips
Use AccessPON BL 101 as the primary surfactant in your cleansing formulas. A good starting point is 15–25% for liquid body washes or shampoos. For solid formats like shampoo or syndet bars, increase the usage rate to 30–40%.
Disperse the powder slowly into the water phase with mixing, then heat to 70–75 °C (158–167 °F). Hold while stirring until fully dissolved and uniform. Cool the batch and add heat-sensitive ingredients (emollients, actives, fragrance, preservatives) below 40 °C (104 °F). Target a final pH of 5.0–7.0 for optimal performance and mildness. The built-in guar conditioner can also contribute to viscosity, reducing the need for additional thickeners.
