Our children and pets are treasured members of our family, and we only want what is best for them. Check out Stepan Personal Care's mild and sustainable products that supports skin care needs for both little ones and four-legged companions!
Personal Care
Don't Overlook Your Scalp
If you think your regular hair shampoo and conditioner is good enough to target your scalp's needs, think again! Stepan Personal Care has designed a full scalp care regimen that can tackle issues such as dry skin and hair product build-up.
Take Care of Textured Tresses
Textured hair, with its unique shapes and structures, demands specific attention. Stepan's Personal Care's eco-conscious conditioning actives can provide the love that these curly and kinky hair types need.
We use our hair as a means to express ourselves, making it a reflection of our personality and individual style. Great hair is also one of the first things we notice about others. Make a good impression through color, texture, style or shine – there are infinite possibilities!
Hair Care at Stepan
Cleanse & Volumize
From a deep-cleanse detox to gentle color protection, Stepan has the right surfactants to help achieve clean, fresh hair. For a natural, economical option, we recommend trying STEPANOL® DCFAS-N (Sodium Coco Sulfate). Or, try LATHANOL® LAL COARSE (Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate) for a cleanser that produces the same creamy, soft lather as isethionates but is easier to incorporate into your formulas.
Condition & Detangle
Naturally derived conditioning agents and silicone alternatives work together for that oh-so-soft feeling. Stepan’s newest conditioning agent, STEPANQUAT® Helia, is a great option for formulators looking for a naturally derived conditioner that is better for the consumer and the environment.
Add Shine, Subtract Frizz
Add the finishing touches for a sleek, modern and effortless look with STEPAN-MILD® L3, a natural silicone alternative.

Our day-to-day life can have a stripping effect on the skin, resulting in a need for replenishment in our beauty routines. And as the seasons change, moisturization becomes an even more essential aspect. Reinvigorate rough or dry skin with powerful hydration.
Skin Care at Stepan
Stepan provides the building blocks, you add the inspiration. Our naturally derived emollients and emulsifiers create the perfect base for your leave-on skin care products. All that’s missing is your creativity.
Emollients
Stepan offers natural emollients that soften the skin. WECOBEE® M provides a cost-effective alternative to a heavy cocoa butter, while NEOBEE® M-5 COSMETIC is a natural alternative to lighter mineral oil. For more information on Stepan's portfolio, download the Natural Emollients brochure.
Emulsifiers
Cationic emulsifiers, such as STEPANQUAT® ML, provide a pleasant, powdery skin feel with the same emulsifying power as synthetic or ethoxylated ingredients. For a sustainable option, check out STEPANQUAT® Helia, made from non-GMO sunflower oil native to North America.

Baby & Child Care at Stepan
Ultra-Mild Washes
Newborn skin is delicate, which is why it may be best to adopt a “less is more” approach when it comes to caring for baby’s skin. Stepan’s exceptionally mild cleansers like AMPHOSOL® 2C and AMPHOSOL 2CSF-AF will provide a gentle clean. But don’t just clean the skin, keep it soft and healthy with natural emollients, STEPAN-MILD® GCC and NEOBEE® M-5 COSMETIC, that provide the right amount of moisturization.

Pets come in all shapes and sizes, ranging from our beloved dogs and cats to elegant show animals. These four-legged friends are important members of the family and their care routines deserve our attention. Whether bathing, grooming or simply pampering our furry friends, their coat and skin should be hydrated and protected.
Pet Care at Stepan
Lustrous Coats & Healthy Skin
Pets tend to have more sensitive skin than humans. Stepan has gentle cleansers to reveal lustrous coats and natural conditioners to support healthy skin. STEOL® CS-230 is well-suited to provide copious amounts of mild lather in traditional formulations. For a sulfate-free option, STEPAN-MILD® PCL-BA combines high-foaming surfactants that rinse cleanly and easily.
