Description

VARISOFT® EQ 100 is a high-performance conditioning agent with improved sustainability. It provides excellent conditioning properties on both wet and dry hair. It is also very efficient for curly hair types. Due to its liquid form, it is universally applicable in various hair care formulations, such as conditioners, shampoos, and leave-in sprays. In surfactant-based formulations, it provides a significant thickening benefit. Primarily based on rapeseed oil, a renewable feedstock

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.
