Atosol® HCO grades are chemically castor oil derivatives. They are non lonic solubilizer and emulsifier obtained by reacting hydrogenated castor oil with ethylene oxide. They are suitable for multiple applications providing solubilizing and emulsifying capacity to many of cosmetics and personal care products. They are effective solubilizer for perfumes, essential oils and other oils soluble cosmetic actives. They act as wonderful emulsifier for oil in water and water in oil emulsion system.
Each grade is differentiated by its degree of ethoxylation and HLB value, talk to our technical team to find the right fit for your formulation.

Atosol® HCO range improves water solubility of major water insoluble products. It is compatible with most of all the ingredients. It helps to solubilize different Vitamins like vitamin A palmitate, vitamin D, vitamin E, acetate etc. It is also used as solubilizer and stabilizer for oils and perfumes in cosmetic industries. It also helps to solubilize different pharmaceutical active ingredients like Acetaminophen, Bromhexine HCL, Dextromethorphan HBr, Povidone iodine, Loxapine Succinate etc.
Atosol® HCO is generally used 3.0% to 5.0% w/w of API to improve dissolution of poorly soluble active ingredients like Cefuroxime Axetil, Cefpodoxime proxetil, Albendazole etc. It should be mixed with API with or without heating and then dissolved in vehicle (Aqueous / Non aqueous).
Atosol® HCO range is excellent versatile nonionic emulsifying agent. It emulsifies major hydrophobic substances like fatty acids, fatty alcohols, mineral oil etc. It is suitable to obtain O/W cream and lotions, also can be used as stabilizer for skin care. It has an excellent emulsifying ability and suitable for emulsification of mineral oil, natural oil, stearyl etc.
Atosol® range improves moisturizing effect and soft feeling.
Atosol® range solubilizes insoluble oily substances in aqueous system and hence it improves transparency and shining. In cosmetic formulations, it impacts elegance, appearance of products such as shaving gel, hair styling gel, hand wash gel etc. In pharmaceutical syrup formulations, it improves transparency.
Atosol® range retards volatilities of solvents. It can be used for highly volatile products like after shave lotion, perfumes etc. to retain its effect for longer period.
Atosol® range improves film forming capacity and flow properties. Atosol® is preferred in cream, lotion, lipstick etc. to improve film forming capacity.
Atosol® masks unpleasant taste and odor of typical formulations like pharmaceutical syrup containing alcohols and suspension like artemether and lumefantrine suspension.
Atosol® improves solubility of the propellant in aerosol in aqueous phase.
Atosol® range is a non-ionic surfactant. It cannot be absorbed by the body, thus it is totally safe for human consumption. Tests for toxicological tolerance show that it does not have any pronounced physiological action and is non-toxic.
