clean soft, gentle bubbles, happy skin

amino cleansers are built for people who want clean skin without damaging their barrier.
they use amino‑based surfactants — ingredients designed to clean effectively while keeping moisture stable.
no harsh detergents, no tight feeling, no micro‑damage.
just clean skin that stays comfortable, hydrated, and balanced.

this is pam botanic’s amino chapter — made for skin that reacts badly to stripping cleansers.
and yes, it’s part of pam botanic clean.

amino surfactants — what they really are

premium, gentle, barrier‑safe
amino surfactant types

amino acid‑based surfactants (anionic) are premium cleansers.
they clean strongly because they’re anionic.
they stay gentle because they’re made from amino acids — the same building blocks as your skin.
your skin is protein.
protein is amino acids.
so amino cleansers match your skin’s chemistry and reduce irritation.

they’re more expensive than betaine (up to 50×),
but they’re more moisturizing, more barrier‑safe, and more effective.

ajinomoto — the amino leader

the amino used in pam cleansers
pam amino ajinomoto

pam uses amino surfactants from ajinomoto — a global leader in amino acid science.
they’re produced in thailand and cost more than german imports.
the thai version uses glutamate from plant‑based msg production.
this by‑product method keeps the cost lower than direct fermentation (like oat fermentation, which is 10× more expensive).
but the performance stays premium: mild, moisturizing, and barrier‑friendly.
ajinomoto amino

ajinomoto amino surfactants are used in sensitive‑skin cleansers, baby products, and premium skincare.
they’re known for mildness, moisture retention, and barrier safety.

the 3 amino surfactants pam uses

premium, mild, barrier‑safe
amino surfactant types

• disodium cocoyl glutamate
• potassium cocoyl glycinate
• potassium cocoate

all three come from glutamate — the same source as plant‑based msg.
they’re mild, moisturizing, and perfect for sensitive skin.
pam uses them because they’re the best for barrier‑safe cleansing.

amino vs other cleansers

cleaning power without the damage
amino comparison upgrade

vs betaine

amino hydrates while cleansing.
betaine is mild but doesn’t lock moisture and can still irritate.

vs tween 20

amino stays moisturizing.
tween 20 cleans gently but leaves skin dry.

vs soap / sls / sles

amino keeps essential lipids intact.
soap strips moisture, causes tightness, and accelerates aging.

vs oat‑fermented amino

oat‑fermented amino costs 10× more but isn’t better.
ajinomoto amino is stable, consistent, and barrier‑safe.

vs german amino

thai‑made ajinomoto amino is more expensive and milder.
pam prefers the thai version.

amino for every skin type

why amino works for everyone
skin type amino

dry skin

amino adds moisture while cleansing.
hydrated skin doesn’t get irritated or tight.

oily skin

hydrated skin doesn’t overproduce oil.
pores look tighter and shine stays controlled.

combination skin

amino hydrates dry zones and avoids triggering oil in the t‑zone.

acne‑prone skin

acne comes from irritation + imbalance.
amino reduces irritation and stabilizes moisture.

amino and aging

why harsh cleansers make you look older
amino anti aging

dry skin wrinkles faster.
dry skin gets sun‑damaged easier.
dry skin becomes irritated and breaks out.
amino cleansers prevent moisture loss during cleansing.
your skin stays firm, hydrated, and resilient.
