Q1: What is the primary function of Plantacare 818 UP in personal care formulations?
A: Plantacare 818 UP is a mild, plant-based surfactant designed primarily for gentle cleansing and foaming in liquid personal care products such as shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers. It contributes to rich, creamy lather while supporting skin compatibility and formulation stability.
Q2: Is Plantacare 818 UP suitable for sulfate-free or natural-leaning formulations?
A: Yes — it is derived from renewable raw materials (coconut and glucose) and is compatible with sulfate-free systems. Its INCI name, Sodium Lauryl Glucose Carboxylate, reflects its biobased origin, and it is frequently used in formulations targeting natural positioning, though final compliance depends on full ingredient sourcing and certification requirements.
Q3: How does Plantacare 818 UP perform in hard water conditions?
A: Plantacare 818 UP demonstrates good tolerance to moderate levels of water hardness, maintaining effective foaming and cleansing performance without significant precipitation or viscosity loss. For optimal results in very hard water, pairing with appropriate chelating agents is recommended.
Q4: Can Plantacare 818 UP be used in combination with other anionic or amphoteric surfactants?
A: Yes — it shows excellent compatibility with common co-surfactants including sodium lauroyl sarcosinate, cocamidopropyl betaine, and alkyl sulfates. This allows formulators to fine-tune foam quality, mildness, and viscosity across a broad pH range (typically pH 4–7).
