What are the primary surfactants in SUNGIT Antioxidant Shower Gel and how do they work together to cleanse without over‑drying?

The formula relies on three surfactants working in tandem. Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES) is the primary anionic surfactant that creates the bulk of the foam and lifts away sweat, sunscreen film and surface dirt. To temper the potential harshness of SLES, the formula includes Cocamidopropyl Betaine, an amphoteric surfactant that softens the lather and helps maintain skin’s natural lipid layer after rinsing. Sodium Cocoamphoacetate, another mild amphoteric, further reduces irritation risk and contributes to a creamier feel. Finally, glycerin is added as a humectant; it attracts water to the skin’s surface during washing, which helps prevent the tight sensation that can follow a strong cleanser. Together these ingredients aim to remove excess oil and residue while leaving the skin feeling fresh rather than stripped.
