Magnesium Lauryl Sulfate

Magnesium Lauryl Sulfate is a surfactant commonly used in cleansing products. It works by helping water and oil-based ingredients to mix, allowing for the effective removal of dirt, oil, and impurities from the skin. While effective in its cleansing action, it can be harsh and may strip the skin of natural oils if not formulated correctly.
