SP Crodafos™ O3A MBAL

SP Crodafos™ O3A MBAL is a versatile, anionic surfactant developed by Croda, primarily used as a co-emulsifier in oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions. This ingredient is especially effective in forming stable microemulsions and is suitable for applications in skin care, hair care, and color cosmetics. Crodafos™ O3A MBAL is derived from ethoxylated oleyl alcohol, offering multifunctional properties such as emulsification, wetting, and solubilization. It is particularly useful in formulations requiring clear or translucent emulsions, providing a light and non-greasy skin feel. Additionally, it can enhance the delivery of active ingredients by forming structured systems that facilitate their incorporation into the skin. Physically, Crodafos™ O3A MBAL is a clear, pale yellow liquid at 25°C. It is recommended for use in various personal care formulations, including toners, facial mists, and light emulsions, where clarity and a pleasant sensory profile are desired.
