Science

Mechanism of Action

SODIUM BIS-HYDROXYETHYLGLYCINATE LAURYL-GLUCOSIDES CROSSPOLYMER functions primarily by lowering the surface tension of liquids, which facilitates the homogenous blending of oil and water phases. This action supports thorough cleansing of skin and hair. Beyond its cleansing properties, it acts as a foam booster, an emulsifier, and a hydrotrope, contributing to stable and luxurious formulations. It is also substantive to both hair and skin, delivering conditioning benefits and imparting softness, particularly in hair care.
