A mild surfactant with self-thickening properties

VeClean SLI features easy thickening, rich foam, strong cleansing power, and excellent hard water resistance. It is mild and non-irritating, leaving the skin soft and non-tight after washing. It is mainly used in the formulation of mild facial cleansing creams and similar products.

Cleansing is the first and crucial step of skincare. As the saying goes: "Wrong cleansing makes all skincare useless."

From the soap-based era to the amino acid era, consumer demands for facial cleansers have kept evolving. Today, facial cleansing has entered a new era, where products must balance mildness and cleansing efficacy, while delivering an all-round ultimate experience in skin feel and texture.

Amino acid facial cleansers also have several pain points in formulation:They are difficult to thicken, requiring a large amount of amino acid surfactants combined with a small amount of thickening and stabilizing agents to form a paste, which increases the risk of formulation instability.In addition, amino acid surfactants have poor foaming performance, so some formulations need to add foam-boosting and foam-stabilizing ingredients to enhance lather.The high unit price and large dosage of amino acid foaming agents also result in the high cost of amino acid facial cleansers.

We recommend a mild surfactant that solves all the above problems — VeClean SLI (Sodium Lauroyl Isethionate).It features excellent self-thickening properties, rich and stable foam, and delivers an improved after-wash skin feel.It is a cost-effective mild surfactant.

01 Outstanding Properties of VeClean SLI

1. Excellent self-thickening ability

Other mild surfactants on the market are difficult to thicken into paste products, while VeClean SLI features excellent self-thickening ability. It can produce delicate and stable pearlescence, further enhance product stability, making it an ideal raw material for pearlescent facial cleansing creams.

2、 Mild and improves after-wash skin feel

VeClean SLI has a pH value of 5.0 – 6.0, slightly acidic, close to the skin’s natural pH. It is mild and non-irritating, leaving skin soft and comfortable without tightness after cleansing.

3、 Rich and stable foam

During cleansing, the richness and skin-friendliness of the foam largely determine the overall user experience.

We conducted tests on VeClean SLI, and the results showed that it provides rich and stable foam with excellent hard water resistance.

Foam Stability Test: After 20 minutes of foaming, the foam height of VeClean SLI decreased by less than 3.5%, ensuring rich and stable foam during the cleansing process.

Hard Water Resistance Test:Compared with stearic acid-based soap, VeClean SLI exhibits superior hard water resistance. Even in water with a hardness of 500 ppm, its foam height remains above 99%.When compounded with soap base (VeClean SLI + stearic acid soap), it can effectively improve the poor hard water resistance of conventional soap bases.This ensures the facial cleanser maintains excellent usability in high-hard water areas .

02 Green & Sustainable

VeClean SLI is derived from lauric acid, a natural plant-based raw material.Vegetable oils high in lauric acid include coconut oil, palm kernel oil, babassu oil, etc. The raw materials are sourced from the beautiful tropical regions of Southeast Asia. It is a 100% naturally biodegradable, green raw material.
