How the SURFACTANT - EMULSIFYING function is used in CosIng
The SURFACTANT - EMULSIFYING function is assigned by the European Commission in the CosIng ingredient inventory. This page currently lists 2924 ingredients carrying that function label in the dataset, which helps you move from a functional claim to the exact ingredients that use it.
Helping suspensions or dispersions of liquids in a second liquid by reducing the surface tension of the substances to be emulsified.
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.
