The main functions of surfactants in cosmetics include emulsification, dispersion, solubilization, foaming, cleaning, lubrication and softening.
 
Surfactants have a wide range of use in cosmetics and play an important role in cleaning and protecting the human face, skin surface, hair and oral cavity.
 
In cosmetics, the application of anionic surfactants is becoming more and more extensive. It has good foaming and emulsificar properties, moderate detergency and unique skin affinity. So it is often used in hair washing.
 
Cationic surfactants can be used in hair care products, including hair conditioners and hair styling gels. It is also an effective antistatic agent to make hair softer.
 
Zwitterionic surfactants have lower irritation to skin and eyes, so they are widely used. The main types of zwitterionic surfactants are: amino acid surfactants, imidazoline surfactants and betaine surfactants.
 
Nonionic surfactants are mainly used as emulsifiers. Especially, ethoxylated surfactants can be used as O/W emulsifiers. In addition, nonionic surfactants can also be used as a solubilizer for oily components.
