Science

Mechanism of Action

SODIUM OLEOAMPHOHYDROXYPROPYLSULFONATE operates primarily as a surfactant, actively lowering the interfacial tension between different phases (e.g., oil and water). This mechanism enables it to thoroughly cleanse skin and hair by solubilizing and lifting away dirt, oils, and other impurities. Beyond its cleansing capabilities, it significantly enhances lather formation and acts as an emulsifying agent, promoting the stable dispersion of immiscible liquids within a product.

Verdict

Insufficient Data

Due to the absence of a comprehensive safety review by CIR and specific data on skin compatibility (irritancy, comedogenicity, and skin type suitability), its profile is not adequately established for inclusion in precision skincare formulations.
