Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient functions by reducing the surface tension between different phases in a formulation or on the skin. As a surfactant, it enables oils and water to mix, thereby facilitating the cleansing process by helping to lift and suspend dirt and sebum. Its emulsifying action contributes to the stability of cosmetic formulations.
