Amino acid cleanser? It’s time to change your facial cleanser!

& Different skin types require cleaning and care products with different effects. People with oily skin prefer cleansing products with rich foam and strong oil removal effect, because they feel that cleansing products with more foam can wash the face more thoroughly. However, in fact, such cleansing products contain soap base and are alkaline. While removing dirt and oil from the skin, it will also wash away the lipids that serve as a barrier to the skin, reducing the skin's moisturizing ability, causing the skin to become tight, dry, or even sensitive and allergic. Due to the excessive side effects of soap-based toiletries, many consumers choose another non-foaming, soap-free cleanser to avoid soap-based products. Although it is very gentle to use, if this type of product is used alone, Without complete makeup removal, it will not be able to effectively remove facial makeup, oil and other dirt hidden in the pores. Long-term use will cause the skin's pores to become clogged, leading to dullness, acne, abnormal metabolism or aging on the face. question.
Seeing this, there is a question before us, how to choose a cleansing product that suits you and understand the ingredients of the facial cleanser? What ingredients should be in a good cleansing product? In fact, the cleaning ability of cleansing products is given by surfactants, and a good surfactant must not only have good cleaning ability, but also have a neutral H value, close to the human body's pH value, and meet these two requirements. The surfactant is only an amino acid surfactant.

Amino acid amphoteric surfactant is an environmentally friendly surfactant based on amino acids. It has the characteristics of non-toxic, harmless, biodegradable and strong compatibility, and is widely used in many industrial production processes. , amino acids react with hydrophobic substances, and the surfactant substances generated are called amino acid surfactants.
The most common amino acid surfactants are
