Science
Mechanism of Action
This ingredient operates as both an anionic and non-ionic surfactant due to its distinct carboxyl group and polyoxyethylene chain. These structural features enable it to exhibit strong detergency and dispersibility, and it possesses the ability to form water-soluble ring complexes with various cations.
