CosIng Definition: Providing adhesive properties during and after compression in cosmetic tablets and/or cakes.
Binding agents are used in solid or semi-solid cosmetic products—such as pressed powders, cakes, or tablets—to hold the formulation together and prevent crumbling. They provide cohesive strength during manufacturing (e.g., compression) and help maintain structural integrity throughout the product's use. Binders ensure that powdered ingredients adhere to one another, contributing to uniform texture and ease of application.
