Balancing the dimeric surfactant with lactylate in Ceralution™ F leads to an additive that is milder and more efficient than betaines in lowering the irritation potential of standard ether sulfates. This additive also improves the quality of the lather formed, which retains water more efficiently and is very creamy.
This additive also ensures that a rich and creamy lather forms almost momentarily, even in cold water. Moreover, Ceralution™ F, which can also be used as the primary surfactant system, leads to a conditioning effect and improved compatibility and detangling of wet or dry hair without interfering with a permanent wave, as a lot of silicon-containing 2-in-1 formulations do.
The Ceralution™ F-type Gemini surfactant resembles structures from Mother Nature, like phospholipids or ceramides. This is probably the key to its mildness and high affinity for hair and skin.
Being highly compatible with electrolytes and cationic structures, the Ceralution™ F surfactant system is set to initiate future progress in facial cleansers, shampoos, hair straighteners, and depilatories.
