There are probably many reasons why and in Point of Interest's posting of Making a Japanese Themed Body Wash - Surfactants goes over why she uses them. You may agree with her or you may not.  But if you are the fence then read this post and maybe try for one particular recipe and if you don't like it then do not use the ingredient again.
