Science

Mechanism of Action

As a zwitterionic (amphoteric) surfactant, Myristamidopropyl Betaine effectively reduces surface tension, enabling oil and water to mix, which facilitates the removal of dirt and oils from skin and hair. Beyond its cleansing action, it functions as a conditioning agent, promoting softness, shine, and ease of combing for hair, while also maintaining skin in good condition and exhibiting antistatic properties.
