CAS Number: 68439-57-6

INCI: Alpha Olefin Sulfonate

Composition: AOS powder primarily consists of alkyl sulfonates, predominantly alpha olefin sulfonates. These are obtained through the sulfonation of alpha olefins, which are hydrocarbons containing a double bond at the alpha position (next to the terminal carbon).

Purity Grade: No purity grade applicable

Appearance: AOS powder typically appears as a fine, white to off-white powder. It may have a free-flowing consistency.

Solubility: AOS powder is highly soluble in water, forming clear solutions. It exhibits good solubility even in hard water conditions, making it suitable for use in various formulations.

Preservation: AOS powder itself does not possess significant antimicrobial properties. Therefore, formulations containing AOS may require additional preservatives to prevent microbial growth and maintain product stability.

Storage: Store in a closed container at a dry place at room temperature

Country of Origin: India

Raw Material Source: The raw materials for AOS powder, such as alpha olefins, are typically sourced from petrochemical or oleochemical feedstocks.

Manufacture: AOS powder is manufactured through the sulfonation of alpha olefins followed by neutralization. In this process, alpha olefins are reacted with sulfur trioxide or sulfuric acid to form the corresponding sulfonic acids, which are then neutralized with sodium hydroxide or other alkalis to produce the AOS powder.

Animal Testing: Not animal tested

GMO: GMO-free (does not contain plant-derived components)

Vegan: Does not contain animal-derived components

Proposition: AOS POWDER complies with relevant regulations and guidelines.

General Description:
AOS Powder, also known as Alpha Olefin Sulfonate (AOS), is a white or light yellow powder that is a surfactant derived from alpha-olefins. AOS is an anionic surfactant known for its excellent cleaning and foaming properties, as well as its mildness to the skin. It is soluble in water and often used in various personal care and household cleaning products.

Uses in the Cosmetic Industry:
In the cosmetic industry, AOS Powder is widely utilized due to its versatile properties. Its applications include:

  • Shampoos: AOS Powder is used as a primary surfactant in shampoos, providing effective cleansing and rich foam. It helps to remove dirt, oil, and impurities from the scalp and hair.
  • Body Washes and Shower Gels: It is commonly used in body washes and shower gels for its ability to create a creamy lather and provide thorough cleansing without drying out the skin.
  • Facial Cleansers: AOS Powder is included in facial cleansers due to its mildness and ability to remove makeup and impurities gently.
  • Liquid Soaps: It is used in liquid soaps for its effective cleansing action and ability to produce stable foam.
    Bath Products: AOS Powder is an ingredient in bubble baths and bath gels, contributing to foam generation and cleansing properties.
  • Cleansing Wipes: It is also used in formulations for cleansing wipes, ensuring efficient removal of dirt and oils.

Hazard:
While AOS Powder is generally considered safe for use in cosmetics, there are potential hazards and considerations to be aware of:

  • Skin Irritation: Although AOS Powder is mild compared to other surfactants, high concentrations or prolonged exposure may cause skin irritation or dryness. Formulations should be carefully balanced to minimize this risk.
  • Eye Irritation: Contact with the eyes can cause irritation. Products containing AOS Powder should be kept away from the eyes, and proper safety measures should be taken during manufacturing to prevent accidental exposure.
  • Inhalation Risk: In its powdered form, inhaling AOS Powder can irritate the respiratory tract. Proper handling and protective equipment are necessary to avoid inhalation during manufacturing processes.
  • Environmental Impact: AOS Powder is considered biodegradable, but it is still important to ensure that it is used and disposed of in an environmentally responsible manner to minimize any potential negative impact.
