What are surfactants and how are they used in cosmetics?

Surfactants are organic compounds that reduce the surface tension of water, allowing the formation of stable emulsions and the preparation of uniform mixtures of immiscible chemical substances.

Surfactants are inorganic compounds that increase the surface tension of water, allowing the formation of stable emulsions and the preparation of uniform mixtures of immiscible chemical substances.
