Science

Mechanism of Action

As an amphoteric surfactant, Sodium Cornamphopropionate reduces the surface tension between the skin and oil/dirt particles, allowing for their efficient removal. This action contributes to effective cleansing and the creation of a rich lather, while also imparting a gentle, conditioned feel.
