Meeting the demand for sulphate-free oral care: The role of Adinol™ CT95
Meeting the demand for sulphate-free oral care: The role of Adinol™ CT95
The oral hygiene market is experiencing rapid evolution, driven by increased consumer awareness, demand for gentle and effective products, and a rising emphasis on sustainability. Today’s global consumers expect more than just basic cavity protection – they seek comprehensive oral care solutions that address gum health, tooth sensitivity, natural ingredients, and environmental sustainability.
Key market trends include the growing demand for naturally derived, biodegradable and sustainable ingredients. The market is also expanding alongside the wellness industry and consumers are looking for the convergence between wellness and pharmaceutical-grade functionality. Formulators are seeking gentle yet effective surfactants that meet regulatory and consumer expectations. That’s where Adinol™ CT95 comes in, let’s explore this solution more:
Adinol™ CT95 is a biodegradable anionic surfactant derived from coconut oil and the sodium salt of N-methyl taurine. Known for its mildness and versatility, it is ideal for oral care applications.
Key benefits include:
- Excellent wetting and dispersing agent – ensures even distribution of active ingredients in formulations
- Mild on skin and mucosal – well tolerated, even in sensitive skin or oral mucosa applications
- Stable across pH ranges – remains effective in both acidic and alkaline conditions.
These benefits are showcased in a recent case study example: Developing an SLS-Free Toothpaste: A step toward safer oral care
Adinol™ CT95
Mild anionic surfactant with excellent wetting and foam production properties. The functionality of the product makes it useful in cleansing formulations. Chemically stable in the presence of acids, alkalis and metal ions such as strontium, making it suitable for gum sensitive toothpastes. Recommended topical usage levels of 1-10%.
Formulating sulphate-free toothpaste presents multiple technical hurdles, particularly when aiming to replace sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS), a widely used surfactant known for its foaming and cleansing properties. Key requirements include identifying a surfactant that offers high foam generation, minimal sensory impact (taste), effective cleansing, and is deliverable in a low water, high active format to ensure formulation stability and concentration. Adinol™ CT95, a high-purity (95% active) sodium methyl cocoyl taurate, successfully addresses these challenges.
It delivers robust foaming performance, a low off-taste profile, and maintains excellent compatibility with ionic actives. Notably, its molecular structure resists chelation with metal ions such as strontium, commonly incorporated in dentifrice formulations targeting dentin hypersensitivity. This enables formulators to meet growing consumer and regulatory demands for sulphate-free claims without compromising on efficacy or sensory experience.
