Description
The substance Lauret 5 sodium carboxylate is added to organic and conventional detergents because of its useful properties and features: • The substance, when combined with water, produces a dense foam that is very pleasant to the skin. • The component not only provides foam but also gently affects the scalp and hair. • Provides excellent cleaning results for oily skin and hair. • Does not wash away natural microflora, and does not decrease skin and hair. • Does not leave a sticky film on the hair. This is a classic component of shampoos, which is distinguished by its safety and mild effect. Laureth 5 sodium carboxylate has gained a reputation as a proven surfactant, which not only does not cause allergies but also protects hair from the negative effects of the environment. The component helps the active ingredients of the shampoo to pass through the barrier of the epidermis, thereby improving the effectiveness of the shampoo.
