More Information
The mechanism of cleansing agents involves their ability to interact with both water and oil-based substances. Surfactants, the primary active ingredients in cleansing formulations, possess hydrophilic (water-attracting) and lipophilic (oil-attracting) properties. When applied to the skin or hair, surfactants lower the surface tension of water, allowing it to penetrate and wet the surface while simultaneously attracting and binding to oils and other hydrophobic substances.
As surfactants bind to oil and dirt particles, they form micelles, tiny structures that encapsulate the impurities, making them easier to rinse away. Additionally, cleansing agents may contain emollients and conditioning agents to help maintain the skin's natural moisture barrier and prevent dryness or irritation.
Common ingredients found in cleansing products include:
● Sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) and sodium laureth sulfate (SLES)
● Cocamidopropyl betaine
● Glycerin and other humectants
