Understanding surfactants in cleaning products

What surfactants are, how they clean and which ones Garoa uses

Published on November 11, 2025

Surfactants are ingredients that help remove dirt and grease. They reduce the tension between water and oily residues, making cleaning more effective.

Why surfactants matter

The type of surfactant used in a formula affects cleaning power, foam, rinse performance, biodegradability and environmental impact.

Garoa's choice

We prioritize plant-based biodegradable surfactants with lower toxicity, combining efficiency with more care for people, animals and water.
