Surfactants are ingredients in cosmetic cleansing products. Their main function is to lower the surface tension of water to achieve better skin cleansing and optimal dirt removal. There are many types of surfactants in the cosmetic industry. Hygiene or cleansing products containing milder, less irritating surfactants are often referred to as "syndets" or "synthetic detergents". They do not alter the pH of the skin as much and are good options, especially for sensitive and delicate skin. They also have a high skin tolerance and do not compromise the skin's natural barrier function, including the protective acid mantle.
These cleansers are suitable for the whole family and cleanse gently and thoroughly, leaving the skin feeling elastic and maintaining its integrity. They are recommended in cases of skin infections, acne, atopic eczema, psoriasis or dermatitis, and in cases of irritation or allergies.
