The functions of the cosmetic ingredient

ANTIFOAMING : Suppressing foam during manufacturing or reducing the tendency of finished products to generate foam.

DISPERSING NON-SURFACTANT : Facilitating the dispersion of solids in liquids. They function primarily by coating the solid through the process of adsorption, thus changing the surface characteristic of the suspended solid.

SKIN CONDITIONING - EMOLLIENT : Acting as lubricants on the skin surface providing the skin with a soft and smooth appearance.

SLIP MODIFIER : Enhancing the flow properties of other ingredients without reacting chemically with them.

SURFACE MODIFIER : Applied to other cosmetic components to make them more hydrophilic or hydrophobic, or to modify their physical/chemical properties (in some cases, surface modifiers may form a covalent bond with substrates).
