What is aNaturally Derived Surfactant?

Colonial Definition:

• The source of the major raw material and major components in the surfactant are from natural, plant derived sources.

• The surfactants are readily biodegradable causing no harm to the environment.

• The surfactants are comparable in performance to those in the past.

Reasons to UseNatural Surfactants:

• Greater consumer acceptance• Natural products provide formulations with vitamins

and healing components from plants• Excellent toxicity profiles• Less damaging to hair, eyes and skin• More stable raw material pricing• The raw material source is renewable• Safer for the environment

What does Colonial Offer?• Ingredients for your next generation of products.• Ingredients that have great marketing attributes.• Ingredients that are much safer for consumers to use.• Ingredients that are going to allow your products to

perform better.• Ingredients that meet the consumer demand for

“natural”.• Ingredients that are safe for the environment.

• Naturally derived surfactants from:– Coconuts– Corn– Avocados

– Olives– Cocoa Beans– Sunflowers

What does Colonial Offer?

• Alkylpolyglucoside surfactants are synthesized by reacting corn starch glucose with a coconut oil derived alcohol by the Fischer synthesis. Alkyl polyglucosides are nonionic in nature, nitrogen-free and ethylene oxide-free and dioxane free. This discussion is about Colonial’s patented work on derivatization of APG’s for use as primary surfactants in personal care application.

• APG’s themselves are known as a natural choice for personal care products because of the level of detergency, mildness, foaming, low color, and no nitrosamine issues.

• At Colonial we take these very desirable starting materials and derivatize them to give them greater functionality and application in personal care formulations. The resulting derivatives have a broader range of application, easier to formulate, are milder and generally have more desirable properties than that of the starting nonionic APG.

The Breakthrough Technology That is Poly Suga®

• In the past, a formulator started with irritating materials and built the formulation to mitigate irritation. Poly Suga® products allow a formulator to start formulating with low or non-irritating products and build consumer desired aesthetic properties knowing irritation to eyes and skin will not be a problem. This breakthrough allows the formulation of low or non-irritating, shampoos, body washes, bath gels, and personal cleansing products.

Why Poly Suga® Products?• Naturally derived• Sustainable raw material base• Safe for humans• Safe for the environment• No Ethylene Oxide• No 1,4-Dioxane• Contain no preservatives when shipped to you• Functional in a variety of formulations• They provide what consumers want

California Suit Against Whole Foods for Carcinogen in Body Care Products

By Ronnie Cummins, Founder, Organic Consumers Association, and Prepared here by Stephen Fox, Managing Editor, Santa Fe Sun News

California Files Lawsuit Against Whole Foods, Avalon, and Others Whose Products Tested Positive for Carcinogenic 1,4-Dioxane in OCA Study

Details are here: http://www.prlog.org/10079593-california-lawsuit-whole-foods-avalon-and-others-with-products-containing-carcinogenic-1-4-dioxane.html

OAKLAND, CA - Reacting in part to a study released by the Organic Consumers Association (OCA) in March of this year, but also based on their own testing, the Attorney General of California has filed a major lawsuit against body care household-cleaning product companies whose products recently tested highest for the carcinogenic contaminant 1,4-Dioxane.   

Under California's "Proposition 65" consumer products that contain toxic levels of 1,4 Dioxane must have warning labels stating they may cause cancer.  1,4-Dioxane is typically produced as a byproduct when ingredients are ethoxylated with the petrochemical ethylene oxide, a process which has become standard practice for many cleansing and moisturizing products.  

The suit, California v. Avalon Natural Products (manufacturer of the Alba brand), also names Whole Foods Market California (manufacturer of the Whole Foods 365 brand), Beaumont Products (manufacturer of the Citrus Magic brand), and Nutribiotic.

It is unclear exactly which products manufactured by the aforementioned companies triggered the lawsuit, but all named companies have sold products that tested close to or in excess of 20 parts per million for 1,4-Dioxane in the OCA study released at the Natural Products Expo in Anaheim, CA in March.

Last week OCA sent a letter to the four companies named in the California lawsuit to see if they are planning changes to their labeling or product formulations.  Only one company responded.  In a letter to the OCA, Beaumont Products wrote, "Upon being notified that there was a problem with our product, we verified that the problem existed, then took immediate action." Beaumont has reformulated their products to remove the problematic ingredient, highlighting their dedication to providing safe products, in contrast to the lack of action taken by the other three companies. http://www.organicconsumers.org/bodycare/beaumont.doc)

The AG's complaint  states that California wants, "…preliminary injunctions, permanent injunctions, or other orders prohibiting the defendant(s) from exposing persons within the State of California to 1,4-dioxane without providing clear and reasonable warnings…"

The OCA's 1,4-dioxane study elevated the issue of fake 'natural' and 'organic' brands that utilize petrochemicals in their formulas in March, and now we are seeing labeling enforcement on a scale never seen before," says OCA National Director Ronnie Cummins. "We used an independent laboratory and found that numerous 'natural' and 'organic' brands tested positive for 1,4-Dioxane, a cancer causing contaminant resulting from the petrochemical ethylene oxide being attached to one or more ingredients."

CANCER-CAUSING CHEMICAL FOUND IN CHILDREN'S BATH PRODUCTS

Women’s Shampoos and Body Wash also Contaminated

WASHINGTON — A hidden cancer-causing petrochemical has been found in dozens of children’s bath products and adults’ personal care products, at higher than acceptable levels.

Laboratory tests released today revealed the presence of 1,4-Dioxane in products such as Hello Kitty Bubble Bath, Huggies Baby Wash, Johnson’s Baby Wash, Scooby-Doo Bubble Bath and Sesame Street Bubble Bath. The tests also found the carcinogen in Clairol Herbal Essences shampoo, Olay Complete Body Wash and many other personal care products.

1,4-Dioxane is a petroleum-derived contaminant considered a probable human carcinogen by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and a clear-cut animal carcinogen by the National Toxicology Program. It is also on California’s Proposition 65 list of chemicals known or suspected by the state to cause cancer or birth defects. Because it is a contaminant produced during manufacturing, the FDA does not require it to be listed as an ingredient on product labels.

Points of Interest

• Colonial’s Poly®Suga products contain no 1,4-Dioxane.

• Colonial’s Poly®Suga products are polymer exempt in the EU and UK under REACH regulations.

Summary• Green Technology for surfactants:

– Safe

– Natural

– Sustainable

• Colonial is large enough to develop new technology.

• Colonial is small enough to be responsive to customer needs.

• Working with customers through distribution partners is our future.
