PEL-AMPH HPL-28 is a modern imidazoline derived amphoteric surfactant that is suggested for personal care applications where mildness and luxurious lather are desired. Based on a pure lauric source, PEL-AMPH HPL-28 contains minimal amounts of by-products and is compatible with most other surfactants. In personal wash formulations such as body washes and shampoos, PEL-AMPH HPL-28 provides a dense lather and cleans without defatting the skin to give a rich, conditioning effect.
