The Poly SugaBetaine products are high quality betaines derived from natural and "green' starting materials. The Poly SugaBetaines are made from alkylpolyglucosides (APG's), which themselves are derived from coconut oil and corn syrup. Poly SugaBetaines thus are naturally derived from renewable vegetable resources that are fully biodegradable. The Poly SugaBetaines are sustainable, "green" surfactant ingredients that are very safe for personal care cleansing and foaming products.

Poly SugaBetaine has no odor and will not add unwanted color to formulations. Poly SugaBetaine is an extremely mild surfactant with no eye and skin irritation. These products have the ability to reduce the irritation of other surfactants in personal care formulations.

Poly SugaBetaine is designed to be used in combination with high foaming surfactants such as sodium laurylglucosides hydroxypropyl sulfonate (SugaNate 160 and Poly SugaNate 160P) to make non-irritating personal care cleansing products. Used in personal care formulations, the resulting foam is dense and has great stability. The ability of Poly SugaBetaine to produce these quality foams makes it an excellent choice for shaving creams, mousses and other dense foam formulations.

Viscosity of formulations can be significantly increased by combining Poly SugaBetaine with anionic surfactants. It is suggested that ratios of 1:1 Poly SugaBetaine to anionic be used at 20% - 30% active concentrations in formulations to achieve maximum foam and viscosity.

In shampoo formulations, Poly SugaBetaine produces conditioning and imparts softness to the hair. When tested with cationic polymers, it was found that a combination of Poly SugaBetaine with a cationic polymer produces better conditioning as compared to Poly SugaBetaine or a cationic polymer used individually. Use in hair care can be at any pH range. This product is very substantial to hair and skin.
