The Surfactant That Transforms Oil Into Foam—Meet Lumorol K 5229

Ever wonder how a rich, nourishing shower oil can magically transform into a creamy, cleansing lather the moment it hits water? The secret lies in innovative surfactant blends designed to bridge the gap between oil and water. And at the top of that list is Lumorol K 5229—a star ingredient in advanced bath and body formulations.

At WOD-Bod® Skincare Wellness, we specialize in high-performance ingredients like Lumorol K 5229, helping formulators like you create products that feel indulgent and functional. Let’s dive into what makes this surfactant so revolutionary.

💧 What Exactly Is Lumorol K 5229?

Lumorol K 5229 is a water-free, oil-soluble surfactant blend made of:

  • MIPA-Laureth Sulfate

  • Laureth-4

  • Propylene Glycol

This carefully balanced trio allows it to mix directly with oils, unlike traditional water-based surfactants that struggle in high-oil environments. When applied to wet skin, Lumorol K 5229 causes oil-based formulas to “bloom” into a milky emulsion—creating a soft, cleansing foam without harsh detergents.
