Active Mechanism

nonionic surfactant cleaning

Surfactants

4 (nonionic)

Expert Analysis

This shampoo uses a nonionic surfactant system with isotridecanol ethoxylate as the primary cleaner, working at a mildly acidic pH of 4.7 for effective dirt removal while remaining safe on existing protection. The formulation incorporates reactive silicone polymer technology to deposit a hydrophobic protective layer during the wash process, creating the claimed ceramic-like water beading effect.

Key Differentiators

  • •Reactive silicone polymer system that deposits protection during washing rather than just cleaning
  • •Low-foaming formulation designed for quick rinsing while maintaining cleaning effectiveness
  • •Concentrated formula requiring only 30ml per 10L wash bucket for up to 33 washes per bottle
