CosIng Definition: Preventing agglomeration of particulate solids into lumps or hard masses (cohesive cake), thus allowing free flow of particles.
Anticaking agents are added to powdered or granular cosmetic products to maintain free-flowing consistency by preventing the formation of clumps or hard masses. They work by absorbing excess moisture or creating a physical barrier between particles. Anticaking ingredients are commonly used in products like loose powders, dry shampoos, and bath salts to ensure easy application and consistent texture.
