Abstract:

Surfactants can play the roles of emulsification, foaming, detergency and thickening in cleansing products. Their dosages are usually 10%-15%. Surfactants are important raw materials of facial cleaning products, which have important influences on the performance of cleansing products, such as cleanliness, mildness and skin feeling experience. To adapt to the development trend of facial cleaning products, the application of surfactants has gradually changed from single chemical properties to diverse properties and greenness and environmental protection. Herein, based on the classification and application of surfactants for facial cleaning products, the development status, performance and application of different types of surfactants were explained and analyzed. Furthermore, the bottleneck problems and application challenges in the process of their development and evolution were summarized. Finally, the future development trend was prospected. This review might provide effective reference for the high-quality development of cleansing products.

Key words: cleansing product, surfactant, application, green development
