The functions of the cosmetic ingredient

ANTICAKING : Preventing agglomeration of particulate solids into lumps or hard masses (cohesive cake), thus allowing free flow of particles.

EMULSION STABILISING : Helping the process of emulsification and improving emulsion stability and shelf-life.

SURFACTANT - CLEANSING : Wetting body surfaces, emulsifying or solubilizing oils, and suspending soil (generally, such ingredients contribute to the foaming and lathering properties of cleansing products).

VISCOSITY CONTROLLING : Increasing or decreasing the viscosity (thickness) of cosmetics.
