The ‘Surfactants’ is a shortened form of three words, surface, active and agent.
Surfactants stabilize mixtures of oil and water by reducing the surface tension at the interface between the oil and water molecules.
Because water and oil do not dissolve in each other, a stable mixture requires a surfactant to keep it from separating into layers.
