Science

Mechanism of Action

As an amphoteric surfactant, SODIUM COCOAMPHOHYDROXYPROPYLSULFONATE reduces the surface tension of liquids, allowing for the efficient emulsification and removal of sebum and impurities from the skin and hair. It functions as both a foam booster and stabilizer, enhancing the volume and longevity of lather. In hair applications, it also provides conditioning benefits, promoting easier detangling, softness, suppleness, and shine. This ingredient is notable for its mildness and capacity to reduce the irritation potential of other surfactants within a formulation.
