Antil Soft SC is a new Ecocert-approved liquid thickening agent from Evonik. The multifunctional ingredient, which can be incorporated into shampoos and shower gels, is PEG-free, natural-based and readily biodegradable. It is said to offer excellent thickening properties in various surfactant systems and due to its hydrophobic nature functions as an emollient, improving skin feel and foam creaminess.
In addition, Antil Soft SC boasts foam boosting properties, even when used in PEG-free systems. Further benefits include the ease with which it can be processed and pumped.
