Description

Poloxamer 184 is a gentle non-ionic surfactant polymer used as an emulsifier, cleansing agent, and formula stabilizer. It is derived from block copolymers of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide. Thanks to its gentle action, Poloxamer 184 is ideal for sensitive skin and mucous membranes, making it a common ingredient in facial cleansers, micellar water, shower gels, shampoos, intimate hygiene products, and toothpastes. This component not only cleanses, but also stabilizes the formula by improving the interaction between the water and oil phases in the product, without irritating the skin.
