The efficacy and action points of amino acid facial cleansers Amino acid facial cleansers are classified into

Amino Acids In recent years, more and more people have started using amino acid facial cleansers. So what are the effects and action points of amino acid facial cleansers? What are amino acids?

Identify amino acid cleansers

If you really don't know which ingredients contain amino acid surfactants, there is a simple way. When it contains "amino", "lauroyl muscle", "cocoyl glutamate" or followed by "sodium", "potassium", "triethanolamine", such as: "sodium cocoyl glycinate", "sodium lauroyl sarcosinate", etc., these products all indicate that they contain amino acid surfactants.

Generally speaking, facial cleansing products containing amino acid surfactants are divided into the following seven types based on their distribution and design:

Soap + amino acid surfactant

In fact, soap-based cleansing products are the mainstream of domestic facial cleansers. By adding amino acid surfactants to soap-based cleansers, they can be transformed into amino facial cleansers. The amino acid surfactants used in soap bases are generally sodium lauroyl sarcosinate, sodium myristoyl glutamate, etc.

Features: This type of amino acid product has an extremely beautiful appearance, and the addition of amino acid surfactants to the soap base interface also reduces irritation. And because of the soap-based system, the foam is extremely fine.

Amino Acid Facial Cleanser Cream - Crystalline

Cream cleansing products are the mainstream product form in the market. The paste-like amino acid is beneficial to the specific area in the phase diagram formed between water, polyols, and poorly soluble amino acid surfactants to achieve the purpose of thickening. To put it simply, it can be understood that the amino acid surfactant cannot dissolve at that point and can only be evenly dispersed, and form a crystal and paste structure below a certain temperature. This type of crystalline amino acid surfactant requires a considerable amount and a large amount of polyol composition, so the raw material cost is high, the formula development is complicated, and the production process is cumbersome, so the price is generally higher. But this is a type of amino acid facial cleanser recommended by Zhenmei Blog. The most commonly used amino acid surfactant is sodium cocoyl glycinate.

Features: Mild, and usually compounded with some other mild surfactants. Although it looks like a paste, it usually does not have as strong a shiny feeling as a soap base.

Amino Acid Cream Cleanser - Thickening Type

This type of amino acid surfactant is designed using amino acid surfactants with good water solubility and compounded with other surfactants. Then some water-soluble thickener and some pearlescent agent are added to achieve a paste-like appearance. It should be noted that if the amino acid surfactant is not the main surfactant, that is, it is not the largest surfactant, I personally think that it cannot be called a true amino acid cleansing product. Just imagine, if a product adds less than 1% of amino acid surfactants, although it can be labeled with amino acid surfactants on the ingredient list and claim to be an amino acid facial cleanser, this is definitely an act of misleading consumers.

Amino Acid Cleansing Gel

This type of amino acid product is generally a thickening amino acid cleanser, but its biggest feature is its clear and transparent appearance. The analysis is the same as above, and the characteristics and precautions are also similar to the above category. It is also an amino acid surfactant with good water solubility.
