Cationic surfactants
Cationic surfactants are most commonly used as a softening active ingredient in fabric softeners including Lenor. Cationic surfactant makes up less than 10% of the formula and adds certain properties to fabrics such as anti-static & softness. The cationic surfactant is a readily biodegradable ingredient.Where is it made from?
Cationic surfactant is the result of an industrial process but is made of natural oils. These natural oils can be both plant-based and/or of animal origin which is called tallow. Tallow is rendered animal fat, a by-product from food production (waste). The natural oils and fats are processed in an industrial process into a new ingredient that doesn’t carry any of the original characteristics and provides the same softness.What else is tallow found in?
Tallow has had many uses for centuries and can be found in a variety of everyday products including:- £5 and £10 English bank notes
- Make-up (lipstick, foundations and eye makeup)
- Bike tyres
- Candles
- Crayons
- Plastic bags
