Valens™ AM-700 is a 100% active, cocoalkyl-based monoisopropanolamide (Cocamide MIPA) surfactant, also known as a "Super Amide." It is naturally derived, biodegradable, and serves as an excellent foam stabilizer, viscosity builder, and fragrance solubilizer. Valens™ AM-700 is an alternative to MEA and DEA-based surfactants, making it suitable for use in water-based cleansing formulations like shampoos, shower gels, and hand soaps. It boosts foam control, enhances viscosity, and provides mild, effective performance in personal care products.
