Skin Conditioning Surfactant Emulsifying Cleansing

Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient operates by lowering the surface tension between immiscible liquids, such as oil and water, facilitating the creation and stability of emulsions. As a Pareth derivative and carboxylate, its amphiphilic structure allows it to interact with both polar and non-polar substances, effectively conditioning the skin while ensuring uniform product consistency.
