Valuable / CLEANSING, SKIN CONDITIONING, SURFACTANT - CLEANSING, SURFACTANT - FOAM BOOSTING, SURFACTANT - HYDROTROPE

Disodium C12-14 Pareth-2 Sulfosuccinate is a gentle anionic surfactant engineered for superior cleansing and foam boosting capabilities. It functions as a skin conditioning agent, contributing to the integrity and comfort of the skin barrier during product use. Its hydrotropic properties also enhance the solubility of other ingredients in formulations.

Summary

Cleansing Foam Boosting Hydrotrope Skin Conditioning Surfactant

Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient operates primarily by reducing the surface tension within cosmetic products, allowing for efficient emulsification and the thorough removal of dirt and impurities from both skin and hair. As a hydrotrope, it increases the solubility of less water-soluble compounds, facilitating stable emulsion formation. Concurrently, it supports the development of gentle, stable foams and helps maintain the skin's overall condition.
