These ranges of products are targets for ≥ 35-age market segments. The function of these products is to cover natural fine wrinkle on faces as we age or prematurely age. The premature skin is due to overexposure to sun, environmental, pollutants cigarette, smoke, fluctuations in temperature and humidity.

Palm–based sulphonates methyl ester (SME) and fatty alcohol ethoxylated sulphonates (FAES) are anionic surfactants, which are produced from MPOB’s pilot plant using Chemithon Technology. These two anionic surfactants were then used to produce liquid detergents, either in liquid or gel form by constructing ternary phase diagram of SME/FAES/ sodium chloride solution at 70o C. The phase … Read more
