Personal Care
Skin Care
Skin is the largest part of the body and requires constant care. A healthy skin surface shows a smooth, soft and firm appearance because it is properly hydrated. Skin care cosmetics are essential to keep skin in desired and healthy conditions.
Surfactants are essential for the formulation of skin care cosmetics. Kao Chemicals Europe offers a wide range of ingredients that provide mild and safe cleansing while preserving and helping keep the skin moist. Emulsifiers, moisturizers, and rheological modifiers are also part of our portfolio.
