Amidet® N – mild multifunctional thickener for Toiletries
AMIDET® N (INCI: PEG-40 Rapeseedamide) from Kao Chemical Europe is based on renewable Rapeseed Oil and can be used as an alternative for Cocamide DEA. With its unique thickening, foam boosting and stabilizing, solubilizing properties, this low viscous concentrated Ethoxylated Fatty Acid Monoethanolamide can be used in a wide range of products including: shampoos, mild skin cleaners, skin lotions, bath oils etc. Due to the exceptional solubilization properties of AMIDET® N, a reduction of the solubilizer concentration can be achieved. Additionally AMIDET® N reduces the irritation profile of ether sulfate containing formulations. AMIDET® N is a multi-functional ingredient that allows the manufacturer of personal care products to reduce the amount of some functional ingredients, therefore saving time, storage capacity and money.
