Functions of Beheneth-10:
Emulsifying agent: Promotes the formation of intimate mixtures between immiscible liquids by modifying the interfacial tension (water and oil)
Surfactant: Reduces the surface tension of cosmetics and contributes to the even distribution of the product during use
The functions of the cosmetic ingredient:
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).
SURFACTANT - EMULSIFYING: helping suspensions or dispersions of liquids in a second liquid by reducing the surface tension of the substances to be emulsified.
