THIS MONTH WE LOVE: PEG-7 GLYCERIL COCOATE
A multifunctional ingredient that acts as an emollient, refatting agent, and solubiliser. Because one ingredient can perform multiple functions, it helps reduce overall formulation complexity and raw material usage, supporting more efficient and streamlined formulations.
Sustainability is a shared responsibility — and suppliers have an important role to play.
From responsible sourcing and transparency to the ingredients and solutions we bring to market, every decision contributes to the bigger picture.
As a supplier, we recognise our responsibility to work with our partners and customers towards more informed, sustainable formulation choices.
Because progress happens when every part of the value chain plays its part.

THIS MONTH WE LOVE: SCI 85 FLAKES
A gentle surfactant commonly used in sulfate-free and solid cleansing systems such as shampoo bars and syndet bars. Its use in water-reduced and solid-format products supports lower packaging waste, reduced transport impact, and more sustainable product formats.
We are so looking forward to Society of Cosmetic Chemists South Africa Coschem KZN Supplier Day tomorrow! We hope to see you there.

THIS MONTH WE ARE LOVING - LAURYL GLUCOSIDE
A biodegradable surfactant derived from plant sugars and fatty alcohols. It enables mild cleansing performance while supporting renewable sourcing and improved environmental compatibility in rinse-off applications.
An ingredient's sustainability story doesn't begin—or end—with its source.
Lifecycle thinking takes a broader view, considering everything from raw material sourcing and manufacturing to formulation efficiency, product performance, and end-of-life impact. By looking at the bigger picture, formulators can make more informed decisions that support both innovation and sustainability.

THIS MONTH WE ARE LOVING - COCO GLUCOSIDE
A sugar-based, non-ionic surfactant derived from renewable plant feedstocks. Coco Glucoside supports sulfate-free and mild cleansing formulations while offering good biodegradability and lower environmental persistence compared to more aggressive surfactants.

THIS MONTH WE ARE LOVING - DECYL GLUCOSIDE
A plant-derived surfactant produced from renewable raw materials such as glucose and fatty alcohols. It is highly biodegradable and widely recognised for its low aquatic toxicity profile, making it a strong fit for environmentally conscious cleansing systems.
Sustainability in beauty is becoming more measurable, transparent, and formulation-focused. Do you agree?
