Lumorol K 5229 RSPO
Foaming Shower Oil Surfactant
Laureth-4 · MIPA-Laureth Sulfate · Propylene Glycol · RSPO Certified
Lumorol K 5229 is a water-free, anhydrous surfactant blend specially developed for creating foaming shower oils, blooming bath oils, oil-to-milk cleansers, and foaming sugar scrubs. It is oil-soluble and blends cleanly with carrier oils and emollients — no water required.
When it contacts water on the skin, it instantly self-emulsifies into a creamy, milky white emulsion that lathers, cleanses, and rinses completely clean — leaving skin soft, nourished, and never stripped.
