Science
Mechanism of Action
This ingredient functions primarily as a surfactant, reducing surface tension to enable the stable mixing of immiscible ingredients. On the skin and hair, it delivers antistatic effects by neutralizing electrical charges. As a cleansing agent, it helps to emulsify and lift dirt, oils, and impurities from the skin. Its surfactant capabilities also include enhancing foam generation, improving the solubility of other components as a hydrotrope, and adjusting product consistency by controlling viscosity.
