Re:In the product formulation, adjusting the concentration of Alkyl C16-18 hydroxypropyl sulfide is the key to optimizing the product performance. Through test and observation, the best concentration range can be determined to balance the cleaning power, foam stability, moisture retention and other required skin sensory properties of the product. In addition, it is necessary to consider the influence of other components, such as the interaction between surfactants, thickeners, preservatives, etc., to ensure the stability and effectiveness of the entire formula.

Q5

How does this component affect the environment?

Re:Alkyl C16-18 hydroxypropyl sulfate, as a surfactant, its impact on the environment mainly hinge on the emissions during its production process and the disposal method after use. In theory, this component can be biodegradable, so compared to some non degradable surfactants, its long-term impact on the environment is relatively small. However, if the waste generated during the production process is directly discharged without proper treatment, it may have a certain impact on the environment, such as water pollution and soil pollution.
