Surfactants - Solubilizing Agents are substances which aid in the dissolution of an ingredient (solute) in a medium in which it is not otherwise soluble. This definition is specific and excludes cosolvency, i.e., the use of a mixed solvent such as alcohols and water in a clear fragrance product. It also excludes changes in solubility effected by pH modification, such as the dissolution of lauric acid in aqueous ammonium hydroxide. The process of solubilization generally requires that the solute becomes part of the micelle formed by the surfactant. Solubilization frequently occurs when a high concentration of one or more Surfactants - Emulsifying Agents, is used. The listing below includes all types of surfactants which are commonly used as solubilizers. |
