Mechanism of Action
As an amphoteric surfactant, Sodium Lauramido Diacetate functions by interacting with both water and oil-based impurities. It effectively removes dirt, oil, and excess sebum by emulsifying them, allowing for easy rinsing. This cleansing action helps maintain the skin's natural moisture balance without causing excessive dryness or irritation.
