Personal Care and Cosmetics 

Our bio-based fatty acids, fatty alcohols and glycerine serve many purposes in the manufacture of personal care and cosmetic products. Fatty acids are used as emollients and thickening agents, and when mixed with glycerine, they perform well as a cleansing agent. Our fatty alcohols are used as surfactants and also find use as emulsifiers, emollients and thickeners. 

CASE 

Our fatty acids promote enhanced moisture protection and flexibility in a variety of applications, including flow enhancer in powder coating additives. Examples of our fatty acids for coating, adhesive, sealant and elastomer (CASE) applications include: #1 Castor Oil and Glycerine USP.

The veg-based, renewable oleochemicals and glycerine sold by 18c, are non-GMO, allergen free, BSE free, and from RSPO (Roundtable for Sustainable Palm Oil) certified producers. 

Lubricants, Grease & Metalworking
