Science

Mechanism of Action

SODIUM COCOGLUCOSIDES HYDROXYPROPYLSULFONATE functions as a versatile surfactant, acting as a cleansing agent, foam booster, emulsifier, and hydrotrope. It efficiently removes dirt and excess oils from the skin and hair, facilitating robust lather without inducing irritation or dryness. Additionally, it contributes to skin hydration by aiding in moisture retention, preventing a stripped sensation.
