Provides a liquid base for a product.

PPG-2 Methyl Ether is a film former that can be found in floor finishes. It helps the ingredients be evenly distributed within a product and helps create a smooth, protective coating on the surface where it is applied. PPG-2 Methyl Ether also can be a moisturizer nourishing agent, it helps prevent a product or surface, like leather, from drying out by helping it retain moisture. This makes it softer and more pliable.

Sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate is a cleaning agent, or "surfactant," that is one of a group of ingredients commonly used in bath products, cleansing products, shampoos and hair conditioners. We use it in our products to remove dirt and deposits. In its liquid form, as we use it, it surrounds dirt particles to loosen them from the surface to which they are attached.

Sodium C14-16 olefin sulfonate is a cleaning agent, or "surfactant," that can also be found in shampoos, shower products and cleaners. We use it in our products to remove dirt and deposits by surrounding dirt particles to loosen them from the surface they're attached to, so they can be rinsed away.

Sodium xylene sulfonate is a wetting agent that can also be found in hair care products and cleansers. We use it in our products to help a formula spread across a surface, making cleaning more efficient. Sodium xylene sulfonate can also be used as a solubilizer that ensures even distribution of the ingredients throughout the product, to help it work better.

Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose an emulsifier that can be found in cosmetic products including facial creams and hair shampoos. It helps bind ingredients together and keep a formula from separating. Over time, it is possible for formulas in a product to separate. We add emulsifiers to our products where needed to ensure that our products provide the same performance use after use.

Sodium citrate is a builder that can also be found in various household products including shampoos, mascara and lipstick. We use it to make a product formula clean better by affecting the molecules in the formula so they work together better. It can also be used as a stabilizer that maintains the clarity of the product and protects its pH. The pH of a formula can affect how long it lasts within a container – for example limiting its tendency to corrode a can, container or dispenser. To ensure product performance, it is important that our product formulas maintain their stability over time.

Dipropylene Glycol (DPG) – Dipropylene glycol is a a solubilizer that ensures even distribution of the ingredients throughout the product, to help it work better. Its is commonly used in fragrances.

Hydroxymethyl Dioxoazabicyclo-octane is a preservative. It helps maintain product quality and performance over time. Some people raise concerns about preservatives, because a small number of individuals have allergies to them, just as some people have allergies to nuts or bees. But preservatives play a very important role in food, cosmetics and household products. Without preservatives, many products would not last more than a week or two before being contaminated by bacteria, mold or yeast. So, we feel the best choice is to add preservatives in the smallest effective quantity to protect our products, but to list these preservatives in our formulas so that those with allergies in the family can be well informed before making choices.

Lauryl Alcohol is an emulsifier that can be found in cosmetic products including hair conditioner and body lotions. It helps bind ingredients together and keep a formula from separating. Over time, it is possible for formulas in a product to separate. We add emulsifiers to our products where needed to ensure that our products provide the same performance use after use. In our shoe care products, it also provides a shine benefit to the area where it is applied.

1,2 benziosothiazol -3(2H) is a preservative that helps maintain product quality and performance over time. Some people raise concerns about preservatives, because a small number of individuals have allergies to them just as some people have allergies to nuts or bees.

Sodium hydroxide is a builder that can also be found in detergents and degreasers. We use it to make a product formula clean better by affecting the molecules in the formula so they work together better. Sodium hydroxide can also be a pH adjuster that alters the pH of a product to improve stability. Every formula has an optimum pH to make it work best. For example, a formula that’s more acidic works better for soap scum removal. Its opposite, a formula that’s more alkaline, might be more effective at removing grease or greasy soils. We use pH adjusters to make sure we achieve the best pH for a particular job. Also, the pH of a formula can affect how long it lasts within a container – for example limiting its tendency to corrode a can, container or dispenser. In high concentrations (such as in drain cleaners), sodium hydroxide can also be used as a caustic that helps dissolve organic matter like drain clogs.

Disodium Distyrylbiphenyl Disulfonate is an emulsifier. We add emulsifiers to our products where needed to ensure that our products provide the same performance use after use. Over time, it is possible for formulas in a product to separate. An emulsifier helps oil mix into water. Disodium Distyrylbiphenyl Disulfonate can also be used as a colorant, or dye. We add dyes to products for a variety of reasons including helping you see where you applied the product, when a product is used up, or for aesthetic reasons. In shoe care products, dyes or pigments also help to restore color or scuff cover. This colorant is available from multiple suppliers, which are responsible for its contents.
