It also adds some conditioning to the hair, so the combing is easier (wet and dry). |
| Strengths | Sodium cocoyl gluatamate doesn‘t dry out the skin like other surfactants, so it is considered very mild. This surfactant has a good foamimg power and is resistant to hard water. The bubbles are fine and creamy, similar to SCI (sodium cocoyl isethionate). |
