Function

CHELATING: Forming complexes with metal ions which could affect the stability and/or appearance of cosmetics.
SURFACTANT - EMULSIFYING: Helping suspensions or dispersions of liquids in a second liquid by reducing the surface tension of the substances to be emulsified.
SURFACTANT - HYDROTROPE: Enhancing the water solubility of another surfactant.
SURFACTANT - CLEANSING: Wetting body surfaces, emulsifying or solubilizing oils, and suspending soil (generally, such ingredients contribute to the foaming and lathering properties of cleansing products).
EXFOLIATING: Initiating and/or accelerating removal of the layers of dead skin cells from the skin surface.
SURFACTANT: 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.
