overview

Lauryl Hydroxysultaine (LHSB) is a versatile surfactant commonly used in cosmetics, personal care products, and industrial applications. It is known for its foaming, thickening, and cleansing properties. LHSB is commonly found in shampoos, bath liquids, and other personal care formulations. It is also used in petroleum mining, metal antirust detergent, paint stripping agent, and hard surface detergents.

benefits

1. Foaming: LHSB enhances the foaming ability of hair care and cleansing products, providing a luxurious lathering experience. 2. Thickening: It has thickening properties that help create a rich, creamy consistency in personal care formulations. 3. Cleansing: LHSB effectively cleanses the skin and hair by removing dirt, oil, and impurities. 4. Skin moisture balance: It helps maintain the skin's natural moisture balance, preventing dryness and irritation. 5. Hair texture improvement: It improves the texture and feel of hair, making it softer and more manageable. 6. Compatibility: LHSB exhibits impressive compatibility with other surfactants, enhancing overall formulation performance.

Skin suitability

Suitable for all skin types, especially sensitive skin

concerns

Higher concentrations of LHSB may cause skin and eye irritation. It is advisable to perform a patch test before using products containing LHSB to check for any allergic reaction.

additional info

1. LHSB has superior solubility and compatibility, foaming making capability, thickening capability, very low irritation and antibacterial performance, anti-hard water capability, antistatic capability, foam stabilizing performance, and good thickening function to soap base. 2. LHSB is non-toxic, low irritation, easily dissolved in water, stable to acid or alkali, has copious foams, strong detergency, and also has excellent thickening, softening, antibacterial, antistatic, anti-hard water performances. 3. LHSB can remarkably improve the softness, recuperation, and stability under low temperature. 4. LHSB has good rinsing performance, it can relief skin coarse feeling, make the formula product feel silky and smooth. 5. LHSB has fantastic thickening capability. Its thickening performance is better than Cocamidopropyl Betaine (CAB) when co-used together with SLES, AOS, ASTA etc. It has special higher thickening performance than fatty acid soap. 6. In the wide pH range, LHSB have very high foaming performance, and the foam is more stable than Lauryl Dimethyl Betaine (BS-12), DSB. 7. LHSB has superior calcium-soap dispersing performance and resistance of hard water. So when it is co-used with soap, it won’t form soap residue. 8. LHSB is non-toxic (LD50 = 2000 mg/kg or higher), no irritation (10.0% composition and continuous skin irritation trial). LHSB doesn’t have the harmful composition such as Sodium Monochloroacetate or Sodium Dichloroacetate which always contains in Cocamidopropyl Betaine (CAB), Lauryl Dimethyl Betaine (BS-12). 9. LHSB has superior stability under acidic or alkaline condition, it shows cationic and anionic surfactant performance. 10. LHSB is always co-used with anionic surfactant, cationic surfactant, non-ionic surfactant, it has quite good compatibility. 11. LHSB is not toxic, low irritation, easily dissolved in water, it is stable to acid or alkali, it has copious foams, strong detergency, and also have excellent thickening, softening, antibacterial, antistatic, anti-hard water performances. 12. LHSB can remarkably improve the softness, recuperation and stability under low temperature. 13. Difference between LHSB and CHSB: LHSB has better foaming capability, higher irritation, and weaker thickening effect. CHSB has weaker foaming capability, lower irritation, and better thickening effect. 14. Difference between LHSB and general Betaine: General betaine has effective active content around 30%, while LHSB has effective active content around 35%.
