How the SURFACTANT - CLEANSING function is used in CosIng

The SURFACTANT - CLEANSING function is assigned by the European Commission in the CosIng ingredient inventory. This page currently lists 3218 ingredients carrying that function label in the dataset, which helps you move from a functional claim to the exact ingredients that use it.

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

Function assignments come from official EU CosIng data. They describe intended cosmetic use, but they do not replace regulatory review of each linked ingredient and any annex records tied to it.
