STEPAN SULFATE-FREESURFACTANT SOLUTIONS
Innovative Chemical Solutions for a Cleaner, Healthier, More Energy Efficient World
STEPAN SULFATE-FREESURFACTANT SOLUTIONS
The sulfate-free trend has emerged from beauty salons into the mainstream. Originally meant to convey resistance to color-fading on dyed hair, the sulfate-free concept has grown to include low skin irritation claims in body washes and other cleansing products.
The most widely-used sulfate-free claims in the Personal Care market are:• Less color loss on dyed hair even with repeated shampooing• Less stripping of natural oils from skin and hair• Mild and gentle to skin, scalp and hair
There are challenges when formulating with sulfate-free surfactants including:• Foam volume tends to be lower than sulfated systems• Foam character is denser compared to sulfate surfactants• Viscosity building may be different from sulfate surfactants
Stepan Sulfate-Free Surfactant Solutions is a compendium of sulfate-free surfactant formulations for shampoo, body wash, liquid hand soap, and facial cleansing applications that address the challenges noted above.
As you navigate through this guide, you may discover the solutions to your sulfate-free formulation needs.

Departure from Stepan’s recommended procedures as well as the addition of fragrance, dye, and preservative, not defined in the formulation, could result in a deviation in the appearance, viscosity, and pH of the formulation. Associated claims may be based on Stepan product chemistry or evaluation independent of the formulation.
Additional formulations are available from Stepan Company. Please contact Stepan’s U.S. Technical Service or visit Stepan’s website at www.stepan.com. Formulation numbers can be used to reference the formulation on Stepan’s website or when contacting Stepan’s U.S. Technical Service at [email protected] or 1-800-745-7837.

GLOSSARY
BIORENEWABLE CARBON INDEX (BCI):Stepan Company’s Biorenewable Carbon Index (BCI) provides you with a single value based on the percent carbon derived from a biorenewable resource. Biorenewable is defined by Stepan as originating from animal, plant or marine material and is calculated based on the number of biorenewable carbons divided by the total number of carbons in the entire molecule. The calculation is based on the idealized molecule represented on Stepan’s Technical Product Bulletin. Stepan’s BCI can be found at www.stepan.com or contacting Stepan’s U.S. Technical Service at [email protected] or 1-800-745-7837.
EO/PO FREE →1,4-DIOXANE FREE:Based on the chemistry, there is no source of Ethylene oxide or Propylene oxide. 1,4-Dioxane would not form because Ethylene oxide is not used in the manufacture of these products.
NATURALLY-DERIVED: Stepan defines as derived from biorenewable resource originating from animal, plant or marine feedstock. All Stepan surfactants used in formulations labeled as naturally-derived have a minimum of 50% biorenewable carbon content (based on Stepan’s BCI calculation). Other ingredients were not evaluated.
SULFATE-FREE:There is no industry cosmetic guideline or regulatory definition for "sulfate-free.” Stepan defines a product to be “sulfate free” if it does not contain Alcohol sulfate or Alcohol ether sulfate as per INCI nomenclature. This definition does not include the inorganic sulfates, e.g. Sodium sulfates, used as processing aids or formed as a residual impurity or by-product.
ZEIN SCORE:The amount of Zein protein solubilized by a given surfactant compared to the amount solubilized by Sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), a surfactant used in Personal Care products (the Zein Score for SLS is 100%). The less protein solubilized, the milder the surfactant.
