Cleansing Emulsifying Surfactant

Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient operates by its surfactant properties, which involve lowering the surface tension of liquids. This action allows it to effectively encapsulate and suspend oil and dirt particles, making them easily washable from the skin and hair. Furthermore, it acts as an emulsifier, stabilizing formulations by ensuring immiscible components remain uniformly dispersed, and contributes to foam generation.
