An ultra pure aqueous solution of an amphoteric surfactant, imidazoline derivative from a lauric base. For baby and adult mild rinse-off products, it helps to reduce irritancy properties of anionic sulfate surfactants. Shows exceptional foam quality in blends with anionic sulphates when compared to other amphoterics and foaming performance is not affected by the hardness of water or changes of pH. has synergy with conditioning polymers that leads to an increased deposition.
