DioKat® DOAP Biomimetic Phospholipid Surfactant – Mild, Skin-Friendly & Multifunctional

Overview

DioKat® DOAP is a naturally derived, biomimetic phospholipid surfactant synthesized from linoleic acid through advanced processes including amidation, quaternization, and phosphate ester reactions. Its structure closely resembles that of human skin lipids, ensuring exceptional skin compatibility and mildness. This 30% active, phosphate-based surfactant delivers gentle cleansing, superior emulsification, and skin-conditioning benefits, making it ideal for sensitive skin and hair care formulations.
