Vegetable Glycerin is a plant-derived humectant commonly used in cosmetics and personal care products to attract and retain moisture. It helps improve skin hydration and comfort in lotions, creams, cleansers, serums, and hair care formulations. Vegetable Glycerin is widely used in clean and modern formulations due to its effectiveness, versatility, and good skin tolerance.
Golden Soy Wax is a plant-derived wax made from hydrogenated soybean oil. It is used in cosmetics and skincare as a structuring and consistency agent to add body, firmness, and a smooth texture to balms, salves, sticks, and solid lotion products. Its softer melt profile and creamy feel make it a popular choice for natural-leaning and clean beauty formulations.
Guar Gum is a plant-derived thickener used in cosmetics and personal care products to improve viscosity, stability, and texture in water-based and emulsified formulations. It helps prevent separation and create smooth, uniform products in lotions, creams, gels, cleansers, and hair care formulations. Guar Gum is carefully selected by Suncoast PCP for its reliability, versatility, and alignment with clean and modern formulation standards.
Polysorbate 20 is a nonionic surfactant and emulsifier derived from sorbitol and fatty acids, typically sourced from renewable vegetable oils such as coconut or palm. It is produced through controlled ethoxylation of sorbitan esters, resulting in a water-soluble, mild, and effective solubilizing agent.
In cosmetics and skincare, Polysorbate 20 is used primarily as a solubilizer and emulsifier. It helps disperse essential oils, fragrances, and other lipophilic actives in water-based formulations while stabilizing emulsions and enhancing clarity. It is commonly found in creams, lotions, serums, tonics, and rinse-off products, supporting smooth texture, uniform appearance, and product stability.
Sodium Lactate is a water-soluble ingredient derived from fermented plant sugars and used in cosmetics and skincare as a humectant and formulation aid. It helps attract and retain moisture while improving skin feel and supporting product stability in lotions, creams, cleansers, and hair care products. Sodium Lactate is widely used in clean and modern formulations due to its effectiveness, versatility, and good skin tolerance.
Sodium Lauryl Sulfate 35% is an anionic surfactant derived from lauryl alcohol, typically sourced from coconut or palm kernel oil, and converted into a water-soluble cleansing agent through sulfation and neutralization. It is supplied as a 35% active aqueous solution and is valued for its high detergency and foaming performance.
In cosmetics and skincare, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate 35% is used primarily as a cleansing and foaming agent in rinse-off products such as shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, hand soaps, and toothpastes. It effectively removes oils, dirt, and impurities while contributing rich, fast-forming foam. Due to its strong cleansing action, it is most often formulated alongside milder surfactants to improve skin feel and reduce irritation, making it suitable for conventional and performance-driven cleansing systems.
