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

emulgeringsmedel

Definition from own experience or research:
Ett ämne där molekylen har både "vattenälskande" (hydrofila) och "fettälskande" (lipofila) delar och som därför förmår hålla fett och vatten i en blandning, en emulsion.

Example sentence(s):

EU:s lista över ingredienser i kosmetika upptar över 2.100 emulgeringsmedel - ämnen som får vatten och fett att bilda fluffiga krämer och flytande tvålar - Shenet
Emulgeringsmedel är ytaktiva medel = de verkar på ytan mellan två icke blandbara ämnen, vatten och fett, så att ytspänningen mellan dem minskar. Resultat: den ena fördelas i den andra i mycket små partiklar och bildar en jämn och stabil kräm. I feta krämer svävar vattnet inuti fettet, i magra är det tvärtom. - Krusmyntagården
