Mechanism of Action
This ingredient operates as an amphoteric surfactant, reducing the surface tension at the water-oil interface. This mechanism facilitates the emulsification and suspension of hydrophobic substances, such as oils and dirt, allowing them to be rinsed off. Additionally, it acts as a foam booster and a hydrotrope, improving the overall performance and aesthetic of cleansing formulations.
