Innospec are pleased to announce the launch of two exciting new surfactant blends, Iselux® BABY for ultra-mild no tears, no irritation cleansing and Iselux® SLC for structured liquids with high levels of oils without compromising foam. The products will be showcased at in-cosmetics at our stand, C51.
Isleux® BABY is a formulated baby shampoo concentrate which delivers unprecedented performance
- No eye irritation or sting and no skin irritation
- Free of EO, 1,4-Dioxane, nitrosamines and formaldehyde
- Enhanced foam and viscosity performance
- Comprised of surfactants derived from renewable resources and readily biodegradable
- Cost effective “in the bottle” as a result of both the initial cost of the product and the simplicity of production
Iselux® BABY is an optimized surfactant base with outstanding performance which is easy to formulate in 3 simple steps:
1. Dilute with water
2. Add performance additives
3. Adjust viscosity with pH and/or NaCl
The process requires no heat (cold mix) and is complete in a very short time period thus saving money by reducing production time and lowering energy costs.
The concentrate is compatible with “typical” performance additives such as,for example, conditioning agents and pearlizers.
Iselux® BABY is perfect for baby cleansers, ultra-mild facial cleansers and any application where mildness is a key requirement.

Iselux® SLC is a structured liquid concentrate capable of suspending immiscible performance additives such as oils, silicones and beads without compromising the quality and volume of dense luxurious foam desired in personal care cleansing. Iselux® SLC is easy to use and takes the complexity out of manufacturing stable structured liquid shampoo’s and body washes.
- Allows incorporation of high levels of oils, great for the current trends seen with argan oil in hair care products
- Simple, cost effective cold mix process
- Dramatically increases formulation flexibility and creativity
- Our technical team will provide formulation support as needed
Iselux SLC offers many advantages over existing structured liquid technologies; it is sulfate-free, EO-free and 1,4-dioxane free, readily biodegradable, mild and creates luxurious lather perfect for bodywashes, shampoos and other innovative formulations.
