Surfactant – Emulsifying
Published on: 23/04/2025
CosIng Definition: Helping suspensions or dispersions of liquids in a second liquid by reducing the surface tension of the substances to be emulsified.
Emulsifying surfactants allow two immiscible liquids—typically oil and water—to mix and form a stable emulsion. By lowering the interfacial tension between the two phases, emulsifiers help distribute one liquid evenly within another, preventing separation over time. These ingredients are essential in creams, lotions, and other emulsified products, where they maintain uniform texture and stability.
