SUNFLOWEROYL METHYLGLUCAMIDE

Description

Sunfloweroyl Methylglucamide is an innovative surfactant derived from natural sources, combining the emollient properties of sunflower oil with the gentle cleansing ability of methylglucamide. This ingredient functions as a non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier in skincare and haircare formulations. Its molecular structure allows it to effectively remove dirt and oil while maintaining the skin's natural moisture barrier.

The ingredient exhibits excellent foaming capabilities and produces a rich, creamy lather that leaves skin feeling soft and hydrated. It has a low irritation potential, making it suitable for sensitive skin types and baby care products. Sunfloweroyl Methylglucamide demonstrates good biodegradability and is often used as an eco-friendly alternative to traditional sulfate-based surfactants.

In skincare formulations, it can be found in cleansers, facial washes, and body washes. Its mild nature helps to prevent the stripping of natural oils, reducing the risk of dryness and irritation. The ingredient also shows compatibility with a wide range of other cosmetic ingredients, enhancing its versatility in product development. Its ability to form stable emulsions contributes to improved texture and consistency in various skincare products.
