2. Features
- Possessing the skeleton of beta-alanine, a natural amino acid, it gives a clean and refreshing finish after shampoos and soaps.
- Part of it turns acidic when used with a mild acid, increasing the packing property of the alkyl group (see figure below) and thereby enhancing foam quality, viscosity and cleaning performance.
- Excellent in forming a complex with a cationic polymer, it provides a hair conditioning effect for shampoos.

3. Applications
- Hair shampoos: SOFTILT™ prevents hair tautness during rinsing and smoothens tip of hair.
- Face washes and body soaps: SOFTILT™ creates fine foam and provides a natural finish to washed skin without causing tautness.
