Science
Mechanism of Action
Operating as a surfactant, PPG-10 Jojoba Alcohol efficiently lowers interfacial tension, facilitating the creation of stable oil-in-water emulsions. Beyond its role as an emulsifying and cleansing agent, it deeply conditions the skin, delivers emollient benefits for enhanced softness, and contributes to optimal product viscosity.
