Valuable CAS 223705-12-2 / SURFACTANT - CLEANSING

Summary

Cleansing Agent

Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient operates by lowering the surface tension of liquids. Its molecular structure, featuring a hydrophilic head and a lipophilic tail, enables it to bridge oil and water. This action facilitates the mixing of these immiscible phases, thereby lifting and rinsing away dirt, oils, and other residues from skin and hair surfaces.
