CosIng Definition: Removing unwanted tissue or foreign materials from various body surfaces, including mechanical tooth cleaning and/or gloss improvement.
Abrasive agents are used in cosmetic and personal care products to physically scrub or polish a surface. In skincare, they are commonly found in exfoliating scrubs, where they help remove dead skin cells through mechanical friction. In oral care, abrasives are used in toothpaste to aid in the removal of plaque and surface stains from teeth. Their particle size, shape, and hardness determine their level of abrasiveness and suitability for different applications.
