POTASSIUM CORNATE.

Insufficient Data CAS 61789-23-9 / SURFACTANT - CLEANSING, SURFACTANT - EMULSIFYING

Potassium Cornate serves as a fundamental ingredient in skincare, primarily functioning as a cleansing agent and emulsifier. It effectively lowers surface tension, facilitating the mixing of typically immiscible oil and water phases, thereby assisting in the thorough removal of dirt and impurities from the skin's surface.

Summary

Surfactant/Cleansing Emulsifying

Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient operates as a surfactant, actively reducing the interfacial tension between disparate phases such as oil and water. This key property enables it to efficiently cleanse the skin by solubilizing and lifting away sebum and environmental contaminants, while also stabilizing the structural integrity of emulsion systems.
