Surfactants in cosmetic products

“The use of surfactants substantially simplifies the production of various types of cosmetics by favouring the release of active ingredients in cosmetic preparations, improving the function of active ingredients on the body surface, and increases the ability of active ingredients to penetrate the body surface thereby enhancing their function.”

“Surfactants have made it possible to develop new types of cosmetics by allowing manufacturers to include new raw materials or active ingredients which improve the effectiveness of their products. Many newly developed surfactants were created with the specific needs of the cosmetic industry in mind.”
