English term or phrase: emulsifier
Definition from ukhairdressers.com:
A thickening agent and/or binding agent added to products to change their physical composition (joins two or more ingredients together). For example, it can turn a lotion into a cream.

Example sentence(s):
  • Creams are made by pre-mixing all the materials forming the fat-phase, that is, the emulsifier, consistency agent (Cocoa or Shea butter) and vegetable oils. Pacific Institute of Aromatherapy
  • Any personal care product that contains both water based and oil based ingredients must also contain an emulsifier. It is the emulsifier that enables these two normally repellent ingredients to mix together to form a cream or lotion. Green People
  • The reason the fat does not float to the top immediately is due to the presence of emulsifiers; in this case, a milk protein called sodium caseinate as well as several phopholipids. Cosmetic Chemistry

乳化剂
Definition:
乳化是指两种不相溶的液体形成乳状液的过程。乳化时通常需要加入第三种物质以提高乳状液的稳定性，这种物质称为乳化剂。最常见的乳化剂是表面活性剂。它一方面降低油水间的界面张力，使乳化作用易于进行；另一方面乳化剂在液珠表面上形成有一定强度的界面膜，阻止了液珠之间的聚结和油水分层作用，使体系更稳定。
