Croda's Adinol CT30 DS (sodium methyl cocoyl taurate) is a high-performance, sulfate-free surfactant designed to deliver effective yet mild cleansing across skin and hair care applications. It produces a rich, luxurious foam while maintaining a gentle profile, making it well-suited for facial cleansers, shampoos, body washes, and formulas targeting sensitive, oily, or combination skin. As part of the taurates and sarcosinates surfactant family, it offers strong cleansing efficacy without the harshness typically associated with traditional sulfates.
Sourced from plant-derived materials, Adinol CT30 DS is formulated with a focus on both performance and sustainability, featuring 86% ISO 16128-derived natural content and being readily biodegradable. It is EO/PO-free, EDTA-free, BHT/BHA-free, and compliant with key global standards including RSPO (MBAL), ISO, halal, and vegan suitability requirements. This positions it as a versatile, globally compliant ingredient for brands seeking cleaner surfactant systems without compromising on sensorial foam quality.
Functionally, the ingredient supports purifying yet skin-friendly cleansing experiences, particularly in products designed for daily use or for consumers seeking gentler alternatives. Its balanced performance profile allows formulators to create textures that feel both indulgent and effective, bridging the gap between mildness and high foaming aesthetics. As demand grows for sulfate-free systems that maintain luxury sensoriality, Adinol CT30 DS exemplifies the shift toward more sustainable, plant-based cleansing architectures in modern personal care.
