Rich & creamy foaming surfactant, effective for sulfate-free formulations
AKYPO® FOAM LM 25 is an anionic surfactant that offers all the properties required for ultra-mild cleansing products.
The new AKYPO® FOAM LM 25 Potassium Laureth-4 Carboxylate was developed with the aim of obtaining a special texture. The product has been designed to achieve a luxurious foam, with a very small bubble size and high foam consistency. Despite being an anionic surfactant, it is gentle on the skin and eyes. When used as a secondary surfactant, it reduces irritation and improves the foam quality of the formulation.
