Science
Mechanism of Action
As a Meroxapol, Meroxapol 312 utilizes its amphiphilic structure, possessing both lipophilic and hydrophilic segments, to effectively lower the surface tension of liquids. This dual nature allows it to encapsulate and remove lipid-based impurities and soil particles from the skin when rinsed with water. Furthermore, it enables the stable dispersion of immiscible phases, such as oil and water, within an emulsion system.
