The effect of presoaking with various surfactant solutions on the skin‐water contact angle was investigated. Various cationic surfactants and amine oxides were found to lower the skinwater contact angle at lowest concentrations. Rinsability data supported the findings and suggested that cationic surfactants are tightly bound to the skin.
