Functions

Cleansing

Makes oil and water mix so dirt, makeup, and sunscreen can actually be washed away. The reason your face wash foams.

Hair Conditioning

A catch-all term for ingredients that improve how skin looks and feels — softer, smoother, more supple. The workhorse behind most moisturizers.

Skin Protecting

Helps rebuild and strengthen your skin barrier — the invisible shield that keeps moisture in and irritants out. Essential after over-exfoliating or harsh weather.

Traditional Use

Developed as a mild synthetic amphoteric surfactant derived from olive oil and betaine. Created in the late 20th century to provide gentle cleansing properties for shampoos and body washes.
