Cleansing Ingredients
Cleansing performance, mildness and safety are key features to consider when choosing a cleansing ingredient.
Having a wide range of surfactants with specific properties and functions can help formulators develop an optimal product.
Besides conventional cleansers, such as sulfates, sulfonates, betaines or amides, Kao Chemicals Europe offers a number of eco-friendly, mild and effective surfactants, as well as thickeners, emollients, emulsifiers and thickeners.
Hair Care Ingredients
Hair is one of the most important elements of personal image. Often, styling trends involve strong physical and chemical treatments that can cause damage. Kao’s portfolio includes a variety of ingredients to maintain hair in a controlled and desirable manner.
Products for hair care include surfactants or cationic conditioners to develop mild shampoos, conditioners, leave-on serums or strong, effective conditioning treatments for all hair types. Also included are mild surfactants for hair coloration and protection solutions, additives that provide heat protection, as well as many other innovative solutions for hair care applications.




Skin Care Ingredients
Skin is the largest part of the body and requires constant care. A healthy skin surface shows a smooth, soft and firm appearance when properly hydrated. Skin care cosmetics are essential to keep skin in desired and healthy conditions.
Surfactants are essential for the formulation of skin care cosmetics. They play different roles, such as cleansing, emulsifying, solubilizing or moisturizing, among others. Kao's ingredients provide mild and safe cleansing while preserving and helping keep the skin moist. Emulsifiers, moisturizers and rheological modifiers are also part of Kao Chemicals Europe's specialty portfolio for skin care.
Sun Care Ingredients
Sun care products are essential to protect the skin from UV rays. They can be formulated with organic or mineral UV filters.
In Kao's portfolio, we offer a UV filter solubilizer that allows the preparation of sun care formulas containing a high quantity of UV filters, leading to high SPF values with excellent performance and stability.
