Description

VARISOFT® EQ 100 is a high-performance, readily biodegradable conditioning agent made mainly from rapeseed oil. It conditions wet and dry hair, including curly hair, and as a 100% active liquid it is easy to handle in conditioners, shampoos and leave-in sprays.

In surfactant systems it also thickens, and it allows clear conditioning shampoos.

Formulation Guide

Processing

Conditioners

To obtain viscosity stable formulations, the following formulation hints are helpful:

  • Higher levels of fatty alcohol are necessary,
    e. g. > 5% Cetearyl Alcohol per 1% of VARISOFT® EQ 100.
  • The addition of low levels of Oleyl Alcohol is beneficial for stability.
  • An emulsifier is necessary for stability, e. g. an
    solid quat, such as VARISOFT® EQ 65 Pellets or TEGO ® Care PBS 6 MB
  • Polymers are beneficial for stability, e. g. 0.05%
    Carbomer or 0.05% Alginate.
  • An antioxidant agent (e. g. Propyl Gallate, Oxynex
    LM) is recommended for color stability at higher
    temperatures.


Shampoos

  • VARISOFT® EQ 100 is clearly soluble in anionic/
    amphoteric surfactant systems in combination
    with e. g. PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate (ratio 1 : 1). Due
    to its thickening effect, the thickener level can be
    reduced.
  • In nonionic/amphoteric systems it is clearly
    soluble also without solubilizing additive.
