An emulsifying agent is a substance that helps mix two immiscible substances, such as oil and water, by reducing the surface tension between them. This results in the formation of a stable emulsion, where small droplets of one substance are dispersed throughout the other substance. Emulsifying agents can be natural or synthetic and are commonly used in food and cosmetic products to create smooth and uniform textures. Some common examples of emulsifying agents include lecithin, mono and diglycerides, polysorbates, and sodium stearoyl lactylate.
