Mild, non-ionic surfactant derived from renewable plant-based raw materials (coconut and glucose).
Excellent foaming and foam-stabilizing properties in both hard and soft water conditions.
High compatibility with anionic, cationic, and amphoteric surfactants for optimized formulation flexibility.
pH-stable across a broad range (pH 4–10), supporting use in acidic to neutral personal care systems.
Easily biodegradable (OECD 301 compliant) and meets international eco-labeling criteria (e.g., COSMOS, Ecocert).
Shampoos and conditioning shampoos for gentle cleansing and improved sensory feel.
Body washes and liquid soaps requiring rich, creamy lather and skin mildness.
Baby care products where low irritation potential and natural origin are critical.
Make-up removers and facial cleansers seeking effective yet non-drying emulsification.
Hand soaps and premium hygiene formulations targeting sustainability and performance balance.

Q1: What is the primary function of Plantacare 2000 UP in personal care formulations?
A: Plantacare 2000 UP is a mild, plant-derived surfactant primarily used for its excellent foaming, cleansing, and viscosity-building properties in sulfate-free shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers. It contributes to rich, creamy lather and enhances sensory performance while supporting formulation mildness.
Q2: Is Plantacare 2000 UP compatible with common cationic conditioning agents?
A: Yes — Plantacare 2000 UP demonstrates good compatibility with many cationic polymers and silicones when formulated within appropriate pH ranges (typically pH 5.0–7.0) and with suitable electrolyte management. Compatibility should be verified experimentally in final product matrices due to system-specific interactions.
Q3: How does Plantacare 2000 UP contribute to formulation stability?
A: As an amphiphilic glucoside-based surfactant, it supports micellar solubilization and interfacial stabilization, helping maintain clarity and physical stability in low-viscosity aqueous systems. Its non-ionic character minimizes sensitivity to water hardness and ionic strength variations, though optimal performance depends on overall surfactant blend design.
Q4: Can Plantacare 2000 UP be used in leave-on products such as lotions or creams?
A: While primarily designed for rinse-off applications, Plantacare 2000 UP may be incorporated into certain leave-on emulsions at low levels to support mild cleansing or interfacial activity — however, its use in leave-on formats requires careful evaluation of skin tolerance, substantivity, and long-term stability under intended storage conditions.
