Summary

Cleansing Emulsifying Surfactant

Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient functions by reducing the surface tension of liquids, which allows oil-based impurities and dirt to readily mix with water, enabling their efficient removal during rinsing. As an emulsifier, it plays a critical role in creating and maintaining stable, finely dispersed blends of oil and water, essential for many skincare product textures.
