Surfactants, skin cleansing protagonists

Abstract: The correct choice of cosmetic products and cleansers is very important to improve skin hydration, to provide moisturizing benefits and to minimize cutaneous damage caused by surfactants. In fact, surfactants may damage protein structures and solubilize lipids. Soaps, defined as the alkali salts of fatty acids, are the oldest surfactants and are quite aggressive. Syndets (synthetic detergents) vary in composition and surfactant types (anionic, cationic, amphotheric, non-ionic). These new skin cleansing product… Show more

“…On the one hand, the irritant effects of skin cleansing products depend on how intensively (mechanically) or how long the cleansing product must act on the skin in order to cleanse it in the desired way. On the other hand, the irritant potency is dependent on the type of chemical detergent employed (anionic, cationic, amphoteric, non‐ionic), respectively their combined use . For some individual substances used in skin cleansing products, safety assessments have been conducted .…”

“…[26][27][28] The perfumes chosen cover a very broad range of molecular structures and the log P values change from 0.27 to 4.46. Our goal is to relate the differences in the aggregation behaviour of the surfactant to the molecular structures of perfumes, and improve the understanding of the effect of perfume molecules on the self-assembly of the surfactant.…”

“…Detergents can be categorized according to the charge present in the hydrophilic head (after dissociation in aqueous solution) into four primary groups: anionic, cationic, amphoteric (dual charge) and nonionic (Corazza et al, 2010). (Takahashi et al, 2011).…”
