Ethanol is a solubilizer that can also be found in makeup, lotions and hair care products. It works by dissolving the ingredients of a product to help them mix together better. It also can act as a carrier or as a cleaning agent that helps dissolve soils. Ethanol is the same alcohol that's found in alcoholic beverages, but in consumer products it is used in very small amounts to make the product work better.

Aminomethyl propanol is a pH adjuster that can also be found in lotions, hair and skin care products. It alters the pH of a product to improve stability. Every formula has an optimum pH to make it work best. For example, a formula that’s more acidic works better for soap scum removal. Its opposite, a formula that’s more alkaline, might be more effective as a carpet cleaner. We use pH adjusters to make sure we achieve the best pH for a particular job. Also, the pH of a formula can affect how long it lasts within a container – for example limiting its tendency to corrode a can, container or dispenser. In this way, aminomethyl propanol is also used as a corrosion inhibitor in some of our products.

Carbopol is a thickener that can be found in home cleaning and personal care products. In our products, it helps thicken and stabilize the ingredients so they form a stable, gel-like texture.

Polysorbate 80 is an emulsifier that can also be found in moisturizers, makeup and shampoo. The food-grade version of polysorbate 80 is one of the most common emulsifiers used in ice cream. It helps bind ingredients together and keep a formula from separating. In fragranced products, it also helps ensure even distribution of the fragrance. We add emulsifiers to our products where needed to ensure that our products provide the same performance use after use.

1,3-Propanediol, a humectant, is an alternative to petroleum-based glycols and glycerin. It can be found in many different skin and body care applications including moisturizers, sunscreens and deodorants. It helps skin from drying by helping to retain its moisture. We add 1,3-Propanediol to our products to help with keeping your skin moisturized.
