foaming agent

Makes lather form

A foaming agent is a substance that creates or stabilizes foam when mixed with liquid and agitated.

In food production, foaming agents give products like whipped cream and meringue their airy texture.

Industrial foaming agents appear in firefighting foam, cosmetics, and cleaning products.

The shampoo contains a foaming agent that produces rich lather.
