The most essential ingredient of a conditioner is, rightfully so, its conditioning agents. By depositing on the hair substantively, conditioning agents leave the hair softer, smoother, shinier, more volumized, and easier to deal with. Selecting the appropriate conditioning agent requires looking into the specific hair type and application. R.A. Kelman, Inc. boasts of a portfolio of conditioning agents aimed to evolve the beauty of every hair type in every situation. From curly to straight, from thin to thick, from basic conditioning to professional salon treatments, we have the right conditioning agent for your intended formulation. https://www.rakelman.com/emollients daily 0.75 2020-06-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e44af7213f9c50f025d1cf5/1589266013414-IZY90PGT2J04A4CW06H9/image-asset.jpeg Emollients - Emollients The Key to Texture and Feel Emollients, in a nutshell, are moisturizing agents. This particular ingredient is responsible for softening, smoothening and soothing the skin by sealing in moisture and creating a protective barrier on the surface. Emollients are incorporated into a variety of cosmetic and personal care products to improve the sensory profile of formulations. Nowadays, most cosmetic products are formulated with a mixture of emollients, based on their different structures and physico-chemical properties. Choosing the right emollient is crucial to achieving the desired properties of your product. R.A. Kelman, Inc. offers a broad spectrum of emollients with a wide variety of molecular structures polarity, origin, stability and appearance. From the most common emollients such as triglycerides, to the traditional Lanolin, to synthetic emollients that offer outstanding stability, as well as the natural and biodegradable ones, we have the ideal emollient for you. https://www.rakelman.com/personal-care daily 0.75 2020-06-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e44af7213f9c50f025d1cf5/1589267951311-O1S7S0RRYDW8NTP29RLI/image-asset.jpeg Personal Care - Performance Additives Learn More https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e44af7213f9c50f025d1cf5/1589267638082-PXLBXV1S4CF1EI0HGZFY/image-asset.jpeg Personal Care - Emollients Learn More https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e44af7213f9c50f025d1cf5/1589267772753-HEBTY9QGDDP9PG49447K/image-asset.jpeg Personal Care - Emulsifiers Learn More https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e44af7213f9c50f025d1cf5/1582207476520-C1TZVFD5NSHAPEBLRDP4/emollients.jpg Personal Care - Actives Learn More https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e44af7213f9c50f025d1cf5/1589265412300-TL0LOHB37HCO16VUV2C0/image-asset.jpeg Personal Care - Surfactants Learn More https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e44af7213f9c50f025d1cf5/1589268190648-DLUIH0DJ11GXVUJKMS8W/image-asset.jpeg Personal Care - Conditioning Agents Learn More https://www.rakelman.com/asphalt daily 0.75 2020-05-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e44af7213f9c50f025d1cf5/1589173742886-AP7COS7JT3YVBM0FU6UT/image-asset.jpeg Asphalt - Evotherm Warm Mix Asphalt Technology https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e44af7213f9c50f025d1cf5/1589173830407-11FJUVT9OBTNWTG43KYV/image-asset.jpeg Asphalt - Indulin Cationic and Anionic Emulsifiers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e44af7213f9c50f025d1cf5/1589174229209-C82Y0XATGL4JT4NG273D/image-asset.jpeg Asphalt - Evoflex RAP and RAS Additives https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e44af7213f9c50f025d1cf5/1589174073326-8VDU79A5Z7YCNB0ZUEER/image-asset.jpeg Asphalt - Morlife Adhesion Promoters https://www.rakelman.com/emulsifiers daily 0.75 2020-06-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e44af7213f9c50f025d1cf5/1589266139023-CM9IZA0YDENBIY3HMQS8/image-asset.jpeg Emulsifiers - Emulsifiers The Tie that Binds Emulsions are the most common forms of cosmetic products, whether it be for makeup, hair care or skin care. Formulating any cream or lotion begins with determining the type of emulsion you want to make. Emulsions - two immiscible liquid constituents (such as oil and water) dispersed in one another - are held together by emulsifiers, a substance with a special molecular structure that can reduce the surface tension between the two phases. Emulsifiers, therefore, are indispensable raw materials, particularly in many cosmetic and personal care applications. R.A. Kelman’s emulsifier ingredient portfolio answers today’s beauty trends that have expanded from the conventional to the modern multi-layering of various skin care products that address specific concerns. Formulating these new and more challenging emulsions is dependent on the selection of a reliable emulsifier. You may choose from our comprehensive range of high performing and versatile emulsifiers to suit your specific needs. https://www.rakelman.com/reviews daily 0.75 2020-05-10 https://www.rakelman.com/surfactant daily 0.75 2020-06-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e44af7213f9c50f025d1cf5/1589267056983-310QHD0JL54ZAYQLW241/image-asset.jpeg Surfactant - Surfactant Cleansing Essentials Surfactants are cosmetic constituents that can make or break a formulation. Perhaps one of the most vital ingredients in cosmetics, toiletries and personal care products, surfactants are useful in a variety of applications –from cleansing and foaming to thickening, emulsifying and solubilizing and even rendering antimicrobial effects. These surface active agents are compatible with both water and oil, hence they possess the ability to decrease interfacial tension which ultimately determines the performance level of a cleansing formulation. Prompted by today’s global trends and circumstances, we are witnessing a paradigm shift in consumer perception and regard for cleanliness, safety, efficacy and sustainability of cleansing products. R.A. Kelman Inc., carries a broad array of mild and specialty surfactants for both niche and general applications. With mild cleansing emerging as one of the growing demands in the personal care industry, we specialize in mild surfactants that are environmentally-friendly and gentle yet effective on the skin.
