Emulsifier and surfactant
Overview
A mild, coconut-derived surfactant used for cleansing, foam boosting, and conditioning in skincare products.
Emulsifiers/Surfactants
This mild surfactant effectively lifts dirt and oil from the skin and hair, creating a rich, creamy lather while reducing the irritation potential of other cleansing agents. It also contributes to a clean rinse and leaves skin and hair feeling soft and smooth, making it a popular choice for sensitive skin formulations.
