Betaine is a methyl group donor that functions in the normal metabolic cycle of methionine. It is a naturally occurring choline derivative commonly ingested through diet, with a role in regulating cellular hydration and maintaining cell function.

Caustic Soda Flakes are white and highly hygroscopic solids that dissolve readily in water and alcohol. With the chemical formula NaOH, these flakes are produced through the evaporation of liquid caustic soda.

Sodium hydroxide, also known as lye and caustic soda, is an inorganic compound with formula NaOH. It is a white solid ionic compound consisting of sodium cations Na+ and hydroxide anions OH-.

Sodium hydroxide is a highly caustic base and alkali, that decomposes proteins at ordinary ambient temperatures and may cause severe chemical burns. It is highly soluble in water and readily absorbs moisture and carbon dioxide from the air. It forms a series of hydrates NaOH·nH2O. The monohydrate sodium hydroxide (NaOH·H2O) crystallizes from water solutions between 12.3 and 61.8 °C.

Coconut Diethanolamide (CDEA) or Cocamide Diethanolamine (Cocamide DEA) (C11H23CON(CH2CH2OH)2) is an non-ionic surfactant, can easily soluble in water, with good foaming, foam stabilization, penetration and decontamination, and hard water resistance abilities. When the anionic surfactant is acidic, the thickening effect is particularly obvious, and it can be compatible with a variety of surfactants. It can enhance the cleaning effect, can be used as an additive, foam stabilizer, foaming aid, mainly used in the manufacture of shampoo and liquid detergent.

Linear Alkylbenzene Sulfonic Acid (LABSA) is an anionic surfactant that was primarily introduced in 1964. It has been the world’s largest-volume synthetic surfactant since then. LABSA is widely used in household detergents as well as in numerous industrial applications.
Like other surfactants, LABSA is a bipolar molecule composed of both hydrophilic and hydrophobic parts. Its polar head has a negatively charged sulfonate group, and its hydrophobic part contains an alkylbenzene.

Nonylphenol Ethoxylates (NPEs) are nonionic surfactants which are such as all kinds of other nonionic surfactants mixtures varying in the number of repeating ethoxy groups. The digit which is appeared after the name of KENON shows the average number of ethylene oxide units in the Nonylphenol Ethoxylate molecule.

Sodium lauryl ether sulfate (SLES), usually contracted as sodium laureth sulfate, and also called sodium alkylethersulfate, is an anionic detergent and surfactant found in many personal care products (soaps, shampoos, toothpaste, etc.) and for industrial uses. SLES is an inexpensive and very effective foaming agent.

Sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) is found in shampoos, soaps, various beauty and cleaning products, and even some foods.
