AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
There is room for improvement in the foaming properties and fineness of existing surfactant compositions such as sodium dodecyl hydroxy ether acetate.
Method used
The composition was optimized to improve foaming properties and foam fineness by adding a specific ratio of alkyl hydroxy ether acetic acid (A) and alkyl hydroxy ether acetic acid (B) to the surfactant composition and determining their peak area ratio using liquid chromatography/time-of-flight mass spectrometry (LC-TOF-MS).
Benefits of technology
It significantly improves the foaming properties and foam fineness of surfactant compositions, making it suitable for cleansing agents for skin and hair.
