Decyl glucoside is a cleaning agent, or “surfactant,” that can also be found in hair products and facial cleansers. We use decyl glucoside in our products to remove dirt and deposits. It does this by surrounding dirt particles to loosen them from the surface they're attached to, so they can be rinsed away.

Sodium C10-13 Alkyl Benzenesulfonate is a cleaning agent, or "surfactant," that can also be found in detergents and cleaning products.

Sodium sulfate is a carrier that can also be found in bath soaps, detergents and skin care products. A carrier does just what it sounds like - it helps carry a product to a surface by thinning or thickening the formula or simply ensuring even distribution of the other ingredients in the formula. We use sodium sulfate because without a carrier, the product would not work with the same consistency across a surface.
