How the SURFACTANT function is used in CosIng

The SURFACTANT function is assigned by the European Commission in the CosIng ingredient inventory. This page currently lists 4574 ingredients carrying that function label in the dataset, which helps you move from a functional claim to the exact ingredients that use it.

Helping other ingredients that normally do not mix to dissolve or disperse in one another. Surfactants lower the surface tension of water or reduce the interfacial tension between immiscible components.

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.
