Ingredients Breakdown & Their Functions
Primary Surfactants (Cleaning Agents)
Sodium AOS 40% – A powerful anionic surfactant that provides excellent grease-cutting, foaming, and detergent properties.
Cocamidopropyl Betaine – A mild amphoteric surfactant that enhances foam stability and improves mildness.
Cocamidopropylamine Oxide – A secondary surfactant that boosts foam, enhances viscosity, and improves cleaning performance.
Conditioners & Fabric Enhancers
Trisodium Citrate Dihydrate – A water softener and pH stabilizer that helps prevent mineral buildup on fabrics.
Glycerin – A natural humectant that conditions fabrics and prevents excessive drying.
Stabilizers & Solubilizers
Xanthan Gum – A natural thickening agent that improves product viscosity and stability.
Polysorbate 20 (Poly 20) – A solubilizer that helps disperse fragrance oils evenly in the detergent.
Propylene Glycol – A viscosity modifier and solubilizer that enhances the stability of the final formula.
Preservatives & Safety Agents
Phenoxyethanol – A broad-spectrum preservative that prevents bacterial and mold growth.
CMIT/MIT (Chloromethylisothiazolinone/Methylisothiazolinone) – A powerful preservative system that extends shelf life and maintains product integrity.
Base Carrier
Water – The solvent that dissolves all ingredients and maintains the fluid consistency of the detergent.
How to Customize Your Laundry Detergent Base with Fragrance
Our Laundry Detergent Base is designed to be easily customized with up to 2% fragrance oil of your choice. Follow the steps below to add your desired scent and create a market-ready, premium-quality detergent.
Step 1: Gather Your Materials
Before starting, make sure you have the following:
✔ Laundry Detergent Base (pre-measured for your batch size)
✔ Fragrance Oil (up to 2% of total batch weight)
✔ Mixing Container (if blending in bulk)
✔ Stirring Utensil (whisk, spoon, or industrial mixer)
✔ Scale (for precise fragrance measurement)
Step 2: Measure the Fragrance Oil
Calculate 2% of the total detergent base weight.
Example: If you have 1 gallon (128 oz) of detergent base, you can add up to 2.56 oz (approximately 114 mL) of fragrance oil.
Weigh out the fragrance oil using a precise digital scale.
Note: Some fragrances may be potent; you can start with 1%-1.5% and adjust as needed.
Step 3: Pre-Mix the Fragrance with Solubilizer (Optional)
If you want to ensure even dispersion, you can mix the fragrance with Polysorbate 20 or a small amount of propylene glycol before adding it to the base.
Use a 1:1 ratio of solubilizer to fragrance.
Stir well until fully combined.
Step 4: Incorporate the Fragrance into the Detergent Base
Slowly pour the fragrance (or fragrance-solubilizer blend) into the detergent base while stirring continuously.
Mix thoroughly for 3-5 minutes to ensure the scent is evenly distributed.
Use a hand whisk, industrial paddle mixer, or a mechanical stirrer for larger batches.
Step 5: Let the Mixture Rest
Allow the detergent to sit for 24-48 hours to ensure full incorporation of the fragrance.
This resting period also helps stabilize viscosity and scent retention.
