Surfactant Foam Boosting Hydrotrope Cleansing Hair Conditioning

Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient functions as an amphoteric surfactant, strategically lowering surface tension to facilitate the emulsification of oils and the suspension of insoluble particulate matter. This action significantly aids in the efficient removal of dirt and debris from skin and hair. Beyond cleansing, it contributes to foam generation and acts as a hydrotrope, enhancing the solubility of other components within a formulation.
