SODIUM TALLOWATE
INCI: Sodium Tallowate
What is Sodium Tallowate?
Sodium tallowate is formed by reacting fatty acids present in tallow with an alkali like sodium hydroxide. Tallow is fat obtained from the fatty tissues of animals such as sheep and cattle. It consists of fatty acids like oleic acid, stearic acid, and linoleic acid. It reacts with an alkali like sodium hydroxide to form sodium tallowate. It is mainly used as an ingredient in personal care products.
Use & Benefits:
- Surfactant Properties: Sodium tallowate functions as a surfactant, lowering the surface tension between two components of the product, such as two liquids or a liquid and a solid. It contains a hydrophilic and a hydrophobic end, which helps it attract dirt, oil, and other impurities accumulated on the skin's surface.
- Cleansing Agent: As a cleansing agent, it effectively attracts and removes dirt, oil, and other impurities from the skin, making it possible to wash them off easily with water.
- Foam Formation: It is used as a foam-forming agent in shampoos, soaps, cleansers, and other personal care products, enhancing the user experience by creating rich lather.
- Viscosity Control: Sodium tallowate acts as a viscosity-increasing agent, thickening the solution to make it less runny and easier to spread, improving the texture and application of personal care products.
- Skin and Hair Care: It helps in keeping skin and hair clean and prevents infections such as acne and dandruff by maintaining proper hygiene.
