Cithrol™ GMS 40

Add to favourites
Cithrol GMS 40 is 100% naturally derived, COSMOS and Ecocert approved. This non-ionic, low HLB surfactant is an efficient co-emulsifier for both water-in-oil and oil-in-water emulsions. It also functions as an emulsion stabiliser and a rheology / viscosity modifier. With calming and hydrating effects Cithrol GMS 40 can be used in a wide variety of Personal Care formulations.

Croda considers the RSPO’s Mass Balance system to be an important progressive step in supporting the palm oil physical supply chain and creating momentum towards segregated sustainable Palm Oil and Palm Kernel Oil material. To that end, sampling will be of the sustainable palm variant, SP Cithrol GMS 40 MBAL.
