An emulsifier is an ingredient that causes to other ingredients to mix together when they wouldn't normally. A common example is mustard when used in a vinegarette. It causes the oil and vinegar to emulsify which means they stay combined and don't separate after mixing. Emulsifiers aren't perfect and sometimes the mixture separates after sitting for some time. But it definitely postpones the separation. Egg yolks are a common emulsification agent in foods like mayonnaise.

An emulsifying agent helps to stabilize and blend together substances that do not normally mix, such as oil and water. It works by reducing the surface tension between the two substances, allowing them to form a stable mixture or emulsion.
as an emulsifying agent
Yes, a surfactant can act as an emulsifying agent. Surfactants have the ability to lower the surface tension between two immiscible phases, allowing them to mix and form stable emulsions.
This mixture is an emulsion.
Methyl stearate is primarily used as a lubricant and emollient in cosmetics and personal care products. It is not commonly used as an emulsifying agent, as it lacks the hydrophilic properties needed to stabilize emulsions effectively. Alternative emulsifiers like polysorbates or lecithin are more commonly used for this purpose.
Water and oil form a colloidal dispesion.
