Surfactants
Surfactants, also known as surfactants, are widely used in the cosmetic industry in products such as shampoos or conditioners, due to their moisturizing, foaming and emulsifying properties.
At Barcelonesa we are distributors of surfactants since 1994. This has given us the necessary experience and knowledge of both the products, as well as their composition and application. We have a wide range of surfactants, under our own brand Bartensid, from various international partners. We guarantee total traceability with the origin of the product and composition of the surfactant. We can also supply you with concentrated bases or propose alternatives to a surfactant that you currently use to obtain certifications such as Ecocert (European Ecological Label) or COSMOS (COSMetic Organic Standard) ensuring that our surfactant meets the requirements of the certification.
