is a surfactant the same as a emulsifier?

[@CosmeticChemist]

All emulsifiers are surfactants. But not all surfactants are emulsifiers.

Perrysir, I want to make 100% natural cosmetics, can you help me with formulations?

[@PerryRomanowski]

Well, there is no such thing as 100% natural cosmetics. Cosmetics aren't natural. There is no shampoo tree or lipstick bush so every cosmetic is processed by people in some way to create the product. So, you have to better define what you mean by natural. Is corn natural? Is grinding corn up to a paste natural? Is grinding it to a paste then reacting it with ethylene oxide natural?

[@sulbhaghatge2793]

@@PerryRomanowski thanks for your prompt support. I'm already into cosmetic formulations but now I m supposed to develop some natural products like natural shampoo, body wash and facial cleanser, so can you help me in this? Like which natural gums, surfactant & skin conditioning agent I should us? Or can you help me with formulations ? Thanks
