Surfactants / Cleansing Agents

Category overview

Surfactants, available as liquids, powders, or pastes, reduce surface tension, enabling oil and water to mix. They cleanse, foam, and emulsify. They effectively remove dirt while maintaining hydration, which is essential in shampoos, body washes, and micellar waters. 

Types range from mild amphoteric (cocamidopropyl betaine) to stronger anionic (sodium lauryl sulfate). Sulfate-free and biodegradable options are trending. Regulatory guidelines ensure safe concentrations, particularly for potential irritants.

Skin Care: Creamy Face Cleanser by Koster Keunen

by Koster Keunen

This luxurious creamy foaming cleanser has been formulated with only gentle surfactants that cleanse the skin without upsetting its natural barrier properties. Kostol Natural E #414 is multifunctional as a natural emulsifying wax, mild thickener and skin conditioner. Sunflower Wax #258 functions as a consistency factor in the emulsion, and as an emollient and film former on the skin.
