STEPAN SULFATE-FREE
SURFACTANT 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.

GLOSSARY
BIORENEWABLE CARBON INDEX (BCI):

Stepan Companys 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 Stepans Technical Product Bulletin. Stepans
BCI can be found at www.stepan.com or contacting Stepans U.S. Technical
Service at techserv@stepan.com 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
Stepans 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.
