Surfactants - Emulsifying Agents, are employed in cosmetics to prepare emulsions. The efficacy of emulsifying agents depends on their ability to reduce surface tension, to form complex films on the surface of emulsified droplets, and to create a repulsive barrier on emulsified droplets to prevent their coalescence. Emulsion Stabilizers and Viscosity-Increasing Agents can be used as auxiliary emulsifiers to facilitate the process of emulsification or to retard physical changes in emulsions throughout their shelf-life. Ingredients listed as Surfactants - Cleansing Agents also function as emulsifying agents, but are not included in the following listing.
The following listing generally includes Surfactants - Cleansing Agents. Surfactant-type cleansers are widely used as emulsifiers; they are excluded here only to reduce unnecessary duplication. |
