Toiletries: Foaming Liquid Soap by Lubrizol

by Lubrizol

This innovative Foaming Liquid Soap has low viscosity and rich, abundant foam when applied through the foaming valve. The foam's creaminess and stability is provided by Merquat™ 740 conditioning polymer and by the surfactant system. This system consists of the naturally derived soap Potassium Cocoate, Chembetaine™ OL-30 surfactant which delivers an emollient sensory, Chemoxide™ LO-PF amine oxide which boosts the foam and helps to stabilize the formula, and Chemonic™ LI-7 surfactant which aids in the solubilization of the fragrance and imparts emolliency to the skin. Glucquat™ 125 humectant, derived from corn and other sources, promotes humectancy to the skin. A formulation by Lubrizol.

Surfactants / Cleansing Agents

Category overview

Surfactants, available as liquids, powders, or pastes, reduce surface tension, enabling oil and water to mix. They cleanse, foam, and emulsify. They effectively remove dirt while maintaining hydration, which is essential in shampoos, body washes, and micellar waters.

Types range from mild amphoteric (cocamidopropyl betaine) to stronger anionic (sodium lauryl sulfate). Sulfate-free and biodegradable options are trending. Regulatory guidelines ensure safe concentrations, particularly for potential irritants.
