Ayurveda Properties
Coconut Surfactant (नारियल सर्फेक्टेंट) is a plant-based cleansing agent (सफाई करने वाला) derived from coconut oil, offering gentle yet effective cleaning (कोमल और प्रभावी सफाई)। Known for its mildness (मृदुता), it’s an eco-friendly (पर्यावरण के अनुकूल) alternative to harsh synthetic surfactants. Ideal for sensitive skin (संवेदनशील त्वचा) and hair (बाल), it cleanses without stripping natural oils, leaving skin hydrated (नमी बनाए रखना) and hair soft (मुलायम)।
Although not a traditional Ayurvedic ingredient, Coconut Surfactant aligns with Ayurvedic principles of gentleness (कोमलता) and eco-consciousness (पर्यावरण के प्रति जागरूकता), offering a modern, natural cleansing option that complements Ayurvedic-inspired formulations.
- Ayurvedic Alignment: Coconut-derived surfactants are gentle, nourishing, and align with Kapha-pacifying (कफ को शांत करने वाला) and skin-balancing properties.
- Key Properties: Gentle cleansing (कोमल सफाई), moisturizing (नमी देने वाला), and eco-friendly (पर्यावरण अनुकूल)।
