APPYCLEAN 6781F features a unique dual-surfactant architecture that combines a non-ionic surfactant (wheat-derived) with a cationic glycine betaine ester (sugar beet-derived). This hybrid structure delivers five key functionalities in one ingredient: cleansing, foaming, solubilising, conditioning, and antimicrobial boosting. It is rooted in circular economy principles, utilizing waste valorisation of agricultural biomass.
Performance & Clinical Data
-
Antimicrobial Synergy: ISO 11930 challenge tests show that while it is not a standalone preservative, it achieves Criteria A for cosmetic products when combined with lactic acid.
-
Broad Spectrum Support: The synergy covers all five standard ISO organisms, including P. aeruginosa, S. aureus, E. coli, C. albicans, and A. brasiliensis.
-
Enhanced Foaming: Increases foam height and improves foam stability (measured at 20 minutes) when added to standard SLES/CAPB blends.
-
Superior Solubilisation: More effective than standard C8-C10 APGs at solubilising essential oils, fragrances, and medium-polarity emollients in water-based systems.
Formulation Guidelines
It is specifically optimized for rinse-off formulations such as shampoos and body washes.
