Poloxamer 184

Explained

Poloxamer 184 is a surfactant and emulsifier made from polyoxyethylene and polyoxypropylene units.

It allows ingredients that don't normally mix (like water and oil) to blend together and stay stable; this makes it easier for cleansers and makeup removers to grab onto dirt, oil, and makeup to be rinsed away more easily.
