How to Use AccessPON Na 80 LI in Your Formulations

Understanding AccessPON Na 80 LI

Think of a surfactant as the engine of your cleansing product—it grabs onto dirt and oil so they can be rinsed away with water. Traditional sulfates (like SLES) cleanse well, but they can feel harsh for some users. AccessPON Na 80 LI is a modern, sulfate-free alternative that provides effective cleansing with exceptional mildness for skin and hair.

Based on Sodium Lauroyl Isethionate (SLI), AccessPON Na 80 LI produces a uniquely dense, rich, and creamy lather—more like a cushiony shave-cream foam than large, airy bubbles. It leaves skin and hair feeling soft and conditioned, not tight or dry. As a liquid, it’s easy to handle and incorporate: simply add it directly to your water phase, including cold-processed formulas, without the heating and melting required by solid surfactants. SLI is nearly salt-free and resists performance loss in both hard and salt water, ensuring consistent foam and mildness across water qualities.

Formulation Tips

AccessPON Na 80 LI is highly versatile. Use it as the primary surfactant or blend with other mild surfactants to tailor foam, viscosity, and after-feel.

Suggested usage ranges:

Primary surfactant (shampoos/body washes): 10–20%
Co-surfactant to boost foam/mildness: 3–8%
Ultra-mild facial cleansers: 5–10%

Add to the water phase and mix until uniform; suitable for cold processing to save time and protect heat-sensitive actives. Target a finished pH of 5.0–7.0 for optimal performance and skin comfort. Pairing with amphoteric surfactants like Cocamidopropyl Betaine can further increase foam volume and enhance mildness. Thanks to its hard-water resistance, formulas maintain creamy lather and cleansing even with mineral-rich water.

Key Performance Benefits:

Exceptionally Gentle Cleansing: Removes impurities without stripping the skin’s moisture barrier—great for sensitive skin.
Rich, Creamy Lather: Delivers dense, luxurious foam associated with premium, conditioning cleansers.
Easy-to-Use Liquid Form: No melting or high heat required—ideal for beginners and scalable production.
