A surfactant is also known as a surface active agent and possesses molecules that have the properties of being polar and water-loving and other portion being hydrophobic or water fearing. Due to this dual nature of such molecules, they can favorably interact with water and water-soluble molecules and also interact with water insoluble molecules. Surfactants aid in cleansing and building foam by working at the surface between water and fat.
