Surfactants
Detergents are Surfactants (surface-active-agents), which can change the properties of water. They can lower water's suface tension, making it better able to interact with other cleaning agents. They can also add foaming ability.
Surfactants: A chemical that reduces the surface tension between oil and water molecules. As the main active ingredient in shampoos and facial washes, surfactants condition and cleanse by lifting impurities out.
