Monoamide KO is a non-ionic, multifunctional surfactant derived from coconut oil. It acts as a thickener, foam stabilizer, co-emulsifier, and rheology modifier. It is highly compatible with anionic and amphoteric surfactants and can be used across a broad pH range, including in formulations requiring high clarity.
Thanks to its natural origin and excellent foaming performance, Monoamide KO is a versatile ingredient widely used in both cosmetic and detergent formulations.
Applications:
Thickening of anionic systems (e.g. SLES, CAPB)
Enhancing foam stability and richness
Modifying viscosity and texture of formulations
Supporting clarity in transparent products
Boosting cleansing performance in synergy with other surfactants
