How to Use AccessPON BL 102 in Your Formulations
Understanding AccessPON BL 102
AccessPON BL 102 is your all-in-one solution for making high-quality cleansing products like shampoos and body washes. Think of it as a pre-made “engine” for your formula. Instead of buying multiple ingredients to create the perfect foam and feel, this blend gives you everything you need in one. Its main job is to cleanse, which it does using surfactants—ingredients that grab onto oil and dirt so they can be washed away with water.
What makes this blend special is that it’s completely sulfate-free. The surfactants inside (like Sodium Lauroyl Isethionate and Lauryl Glucoside) are known for being incredibly gentle on the skin and hair, producing a dense, creamy lather rather than big, harsh bubbles. For the chemists, this blend combines mild anionic and non-ionic surfactants for synergistic cleansing and foam enhancement. It also includes Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride, a cationic polymer derived from natural guar gum. During rinsing, this ingredient forms a conditioning layer on the hair and skin, resulting in a smooth, detangled, and soft after-feel.
Formulation Tips
To use AccessPON BL 102, which typically comes in a powder or noodle form, dissolve it in the water phase of your formula. Heat your water to around 70–75 °C (158–167 °F) and stir gently until fully dissolved and uniform.
A typical usage rate is between 10% and 40%. For a gentle liquid shampoo or body wash, start with 15–25%. For a concentrated product like a solid shampoo bar, use 30–40%. The final amount depends on your desired cleansing power and viscosity. Because this blend already contains a conditioning agent, you may not need an additional detangler, simplifying your formula. It performs best at pH 5.0–7.0 and is compatible with most cosmetic actives, fragrances, and preservatives.
