Angie do you know where I might find a technical data sheet on Crothix? I

like the feel of Crothix in a liquid soap that I make. But I would like to

show the customer that it is vegetable derived. I believe that honesty is

the best policy.

Thanks

Hi Carol,

I also agree that honesty is the best policy. I have a hard copy of the data

sheet--it's DS-53R-5. I don't know if it is available online. I feel sure

the customer service or tech folks at Croda could send it to you. You could

just give them a call. Or I would be more than happy to fax the pages to you if

you would like for me to. As I have skimmed over the info again, I don't see

any reference to being naturally derived. The only reference made is in the

upper right hand corner where they list the product as vegetable derived. I'm

not sure of the actual veggie source, but we could probably find out. For me

personally, veggie or naturally derived is not a big deal, but I know that

many of our customers feel that it's an important issue. To me the critical

issue is whether or not there are any health risks or benefits associated with

this product or any product--that's how we base our decisions on which products

to sell and use. Meagan provided an excellent explanation of the PEG compounds

and how these products can be vacuum stripped so that no 1, 4 Dioxane

residues are present---way to go, Meagan Crothix appears to be an excellent

product -- I'd be more concerned about the liquid soap being an irritant than

anything. Please let me know if I can be of any help.

The Stearic Acid used in Crothix (PEG-150 Pentaerythrityl

Tetrastearate) must come a vegetable source.
