Amphoteric surfactants
Amphoteric surfactants are unique cleaning agents that contain molecules capable of acting as both acids and bases depending on the pH of their environment. This means they can gently remove dirt and oils from skin and hair while being gentle and suitable for sensitive or delicate skin types. They are commonly used in personal care products like shampoos and facial cleansers because they provide effective cleaning without stripping natural oils. Their versatility allows them to function well across different pH levels, making them a popular choice for formulations that require mild yet effective cleansing action.
