Mild Surfactants: MTJ’s Conscious Choice
Surfactants are the key players in the cleansing process; they are essential in hair care products such as shampoos, as well as in body cleansers like shower gels. Their function is to bind to impurities and gently remove them during washing, restoring freshness and cleanliness to the hair and skin.
Their use isn’t limited to cosmetics: they’re also found in pharmaceuticals and sanitizing products. But in a high-end hair care routine, the difference isn’t just in “washing,” but in how this process takes place.
What types of surfactants are there?
Surfactants can be of natural origin or the result of chemical synthesis.
Those of natural origin, derived from ingredients such as wheat, coconut oil, and other lipid-rich plants, are distinguished by their extraordinary gentleness and are known as SLS & SLES-free.
These next-generation formulas respect the hair’s hydrolipidic film and leave a feeling of lightness and prolonged well-being, without damaging the hair shaft. This is the key difference compared to aggressive surfactants, which, while cleansing thoroughly, can strip and stress the hair.
But what do these acronyms mean?
The acronyms SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate) and SLES (Sodium Laureth Sulfate) refer to chemical surfactants with high foaming power, often found in common shampoos.
Although effective, they often leave residue on the hair, making it appear weighed down and causing it to get dirty more quickly.
The MTJ Choice
MTJ, which has always been synonymous with cosmetic excellence, uses only gentle, natural, skin-friendly surfactants that are free of SLS and SLES, both in its shampoo lines and in its body washes.
This choice allows for thorough cleansing while respecting the scalp’s natural balance and the hair’s keratin structure, offering a luxurious sensory experience where lightness and cleanliness go hand in hand with long-lasting results.
It is not the amount of lather that determines a product’s effectiveness, but the quality of its raw materials: a concept that translates into an exclusive beauty routine, in which every step is designed to enhance the natural beauty of the hair and skin.
