🗑
fatty esters   fatty substances used as vehicles and emollients; organic acid combines with alcohol; used to smooth surface of skin and hair; lighter  
🗑
rancid   discoloration and/or odor due to oxidation  
🗑
What are the four basic types of surfactants?   anionic, nonionic, cationic, and amphoteric
