benefits

Benefits of GlucoTain Plus: High and Long Lasting Foam: GlucoTain Plus's four mild surfactant solutions provide stable foam and a higher amount of lather in rinse-off products. Better Thickener: GlucoTain Plus helps achieve the right viscosity without salt, especially in sulfate-free platforms where thickening formulations can be challenging. Effective Cleanser: GlucoTain Plus offers high compatibility and good cleansing efficacy, fulfilling various cleansing formulations' needs. Extra Mild Surfactants: GlucoTain Plus is gentle on skin and hair, making it suitable for mild surfactant applications without compromising cleansing. Benefits of Lauroyl Methyl Glucamide: Acts as a surfactant: It is an effective surfactant as it reduces the surface tension between 2 liquids or a liquid and a solid which helps in even distribution of the product when it is applied. Acts as a conditioning agent: It makes the skin and hair softer and smoother. It absorbs moisture which keeps them hydrated. It makes the skin and hair look younger.
