Customers are no longer looking for cleansing only – they want multi-purpose products. When cleansing is required to be extra mild and gentle on hands and face, formulators can find plenty of solutions within our PROTELAN and LUMOROL product lines. We offer a wide range of highly natural COSMOS-certifiable ingredients whose different foaming systems enable a perfect sensory perception.

In contrast to soap, cleansing bars based on synthetic surfactants (syndets) can be adjusted to a slightly acidic or neutral pH value. This prevents the skin from swelling and preserves its acidic protection layer. Due to their mild composition, cleansing bars are less degreasing on the skin. Thus, they are particularly suitable for dry and sensitive skin.

Soaps are the sodium or potassium salts of various fatty acids. They are used as solid or semi-solid mixtures for cleansing hands and facial skin. They differ from soap-free cleansing bars in their alkaline pH value.

Our optimised surfactant blends are easy to use. They were specifically developed to be used in mild cleanser applications that leave the skin feeling soft and moisturised.

We offer you high-performance cleansing ingredients for different types of make-up removers. Our mild surfactants, for example, are gentle to the eyes and ideal for micellar water or biphasic products. We also provide perfect options for oil cleansing products.

Our opacifiers are used in a wide variety of formulas and product types. Even when added in small amounts only, they modify the appearance of the product by creating a dense, uniform, milky or creamy opacity with a high proportion of white – which does not affect the other properties of liquid products.

Pearling agents add a fine and even pearlescent sheen to cosmetic formulations. Small quantities of the product suffice to create this attractive optical effect in the final product.

Thickeners are used in nearly all common cosmetic formulations to achieve the desired viscosity of the final product.

Solubilisers are used to produce clear aqueous solutions of different oils, like perfumes or essential oils of various origins. Besides, caring components can be incorporated into rinse-off formulations.

Hair is vulnerable to damage caused by various external factors. Our conditioners and conditioning agents help to recover damaged hair and enhance combability, softness as well as smoothness, providing shine and an excellent detangling performance.

The emollients of our ZETEMOL range offer versatile solutions for natural and COSMOS-certified formulations such as hair masks and 2-in-1 shampoos. They guarantee soft hair without build-up effect.

ZETEMULS HC PLUS, a self-emulsifying base, provides an excellent conditioning and hair repair effect without build-up. As an EO- and PEG-free emulsifier, it also enhances viscosity.

Cationic polymers combine a unique mixture of properties, such as combability, ease of styling as well as detangling and strengthening features. Thus, they upgrade shampoos, conditioners, styling lotions and products such as mousse or hair spray.

Customers are no longer looking for cleansing only – they want multi-benefit products. When extra mild, gentle and skin-friendly cleansing is required, formulators can find plenty of solutions within our PROTELAN and LUMOROL product lines.

When it comes to bath or shower oils, the focus is not only on cleansing but also on skin care. With their special composition of powerful emulsifiers and high-quality oils, shower and bath oils create an unforgettable care and wellness experience. Thanks to the special surfactant blends of our LUMOROL range, customers can design extra caring formulas with a high amount of oil that can be easily incorporated. As a result, the final product leaves the skin soft and moisturised after a shower or bath.

Emollients can be used in a variety of ways. First of all, they create a pleasant, smooth feel by nourishing and relaxing the skin. With a combination of different emollients, additional sensory effects can be achieved, e.g. an increase in skin moisture.

Zschimmer & Schwarz offers a variety of bases for syndet bars. No matter what the requirements, whether for the formulation of skin care or hair care products: our ZETESAP types are perfect for a wide range of applications.

In contrast to soaps, our syndets are easily adjustable to pH 5 to 7. This enables the formulation of high-care cleansing bars which are extra mild to the skin. Thus, even sensitive skin won’t be damaged, even if washed frequently. 

Our syndets give consumers the familiar pleasure of their favourite traditional hair care products while being both the more sustainable option and especially mild to the hair. By simply adding perfumes and conditioning agents, our ZETESAP bases can easily be used to create solid shampoo bars that offer excellent performance in terms of wet and dry combing and smoothness of the hair. Additionally, the adjustable pH of ZETESAP eliminates the need for an acidic rinse after shampooing.

Zschimmer & Schwarz offers an extensive portfolio of emollients. When they are combined, a wide variety of sensory effects, textures and other properties can be achieved. From light to heavy consistencies, and from short to medium playtime: give your baby care product exactly the desired properties.

The pleasant skin sensation as well as the stability of cosmetic emulsions strongly depend on the formulation’s emulsifier system. We offer highly effective and PEG-free solutions for O/W and W/O emulsions for sensitive baby skin.

Solubilisers are used to produce clear aqueous solutions of different oils of various origins. Caring components can also be incorporated into rinse-off formulations.
