Cocamidopropyl betaine is another surfactant that helps to create lather and improve the texture of the gel. Glycerin is a moisturizing ingredient that helps to hydrate the skin. Citric acid is a pH adjuster that helps to balance the pH of the gel
. Positive aspects of shower gel include its ability to clean the skin effectively and leave a pleasant fragrance.
