KAO launches an EO-free and sulfate-free pearling agent, derived from a natural-origin wax. This cold processable blend is compatible with a wide variety of formulation systems and produces a stable, elegant pearlescent effect with metallic luster that enhances product appearance. Beyond its visual benefits, this ingredient delivers notable sensory and functional advantages; an ultra-mild skin profile and viscosity-boosting properties that improve texture and overall product performance. Suitable for a broad range of personal-care applications, including shower gels, shampoos, conditioners and facial cleansers, the new pearling agent meets COSMOS requirements while offering a high level of natural origin.
