Cithrol™ 10GTIS

Cithrol 10GTIS creates advanced high performance microemulsion facial cleansers that are crystal clear, gentle to skin and easily rinsed with no oily residue. A highly effective and mild surfactant, Cithrol 10GTIS allows the formulation of crystal clear facial cleansers made up of oil and water in a microemulsion, maintaining the perfect hydro-lipophilic balance required for this type of high performance system. Cithrol 10GTIS can also be used to create simple oil cleansers, emulsifying cleansing oils on contact with water so they can be rinsed from skin on application of water. The microemulsion and oil cleansers are very effective at removing long wear and water proof make-up while leaving the skin feeling renewed, smooth and soft to touch.
