Soap

In Soaps, the surfactants give the washing effect. The oil-loving part of the surfactants encapsulates the “oily dirt” on our skin where the water-loving part of the surfactant helps transport the dirt into the water and away. The normal content of surfactant in soaps is between 10 – 20 weight %.

Detergent

In Detergents, the surfactants give the washing effect. The oil-loving part of the surfactants encapsulates the “oily dirt” on our clothes, where the water-loving part of the surfactant helps transport the dirt into the water and away. The normal content of surfactant in detergents is between 10 – 15 weight %.

Cosmetics

In Cosmetics, the surfactants help mix the normal immiscible water phase and oil phase together. This gives an emulsion and thereby a “creamy consistency” in the final cosmetic product.  

The amount of surfactants in cosmetic products varies with the application. In a moisturizing lotion, the surfactant amount is around 5 weight %.
