Science

Mechanism of Action

This amido-type sulfosuccinate functions by lowering surface tension, enabling the emulsification and removal of oil and dirt from skin and hair. It generates a creamy lather, acts as a foam booster by increasing bubble stability, and conditions the skin. Additionally, it serves as a hydrotrope, enhancing the solubility of other ingredients within aqueous solutions.
