CosmeticSurfactants are an essential ingredient for many cosmetic products. They arethe substances that fill and/or emulsify the product's components. Thisincludes such things as oils and waxes, alkyds, fragrances, pigments, dyes, andpreservatives. In other words, CosmeticSurfactants are what givesthe finished product its form.
Mostpeople have no idea about the basic function or structure of Surfactants.Basically, Surfactants work as messengers, exchanging large molecules likegrease or oil with smaller molecules like water or oil. Surfactants also play avital role in the skincare process by creating a barrier on the surface of thecosmetic product, usually over the textured surface of the product. Thisbarrier keeps the contents of the cosmetic products from entering into theuser's skin and becoming airborne. It also slows down the rate at whichchemicals sink into the skin. These effects help to ensure that cosmeticproducts don't irritate or inflame the skin and that they do not cause anyallergic reactions.
Itis well known that all of the chemical surfactant properties found in cosmeticsproducts are made through chemical synthesis. Not one particular chemical likesodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) is the only component of a surfactant. The completecomposition of a cosmetic surfactant is made up of a primary surfactant, anemulsion stabilizer, surfactants, and additional additives.
