Science
Mechanism of Action
As a surfactant, SODIUM DIETHYLAMINOPROPYL COCOASPARTAMIDE operates by lowering the surface tension between different phases (like oil and water), enabling their dispersion. This property is crucial for cleansing formulations, where it helps emulsify dirt and oils, allowing them to be rinsed away. For hair, its conditioning action contributes to improved combability, softness, shine, and enhanced volume.
