The effects of surfactants on skin include skin tightness, rough skin and skin irritation. If the main surfactants (hereinafter referred to as surfactants) are differentiated, the facial cleanser can be divided into soap-based, amino acid and complex facial cleanser
(1) Soap-based facial cleanser
The soap based is neutralized by fatty acid and alkali. The fatty acid generally contains lauric acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid and stearic acid, and the alkali used for neutralization is generally potassium hydroxide. The soap based facial cleanser has the characteristics of texture, rich foam, smoothness and compactness, strong cleaning ability, easy washing, and refreshing after use.
Due to the fatty acid salt is alkaline, the pure soap based product pH9-10 is not compatible with the skin pH value of 5, so it is not gentle enough for the skin, and it is easy to cause tightness and dryness after washing for people with fragile skin.
(2) Amino acid facial cleanser
Amino acid facial cleanser is a neutral to weak acid cleanser composed of amino acid system surfactant and low irritant detergent.
Due to the moderate decontamination, good foaming performance, excellent flushing performance, good affinity with skin, low irritation, the disadvantage of amino acid surface activity is weak on foaming.
There are many kinds of amino acid surface activity. Amino acid type facial cleansers mainly include glycine type, glutamic acid type and methyltaurine type.
(3) Compound facial cleanser
Different surfactants will have different experience and characteristics. In order to develop better facial cleansers and achieve a balance among foam, cleaning efficiency, skin gentleness and pleasant and comfortable skin feeling, surfactants with different characteristics are usually mixed
