English translation:water-based product
Explanation:
For clarity in this case I would go for "water-based products" as that is what it is referring to here. See same site as for "tensioliti" posting:
un idrolita (= a base di acqua, come tonici, dopobarba)
To tie in the different types of products referred to, you could say something like "...foaming and water-based products..."

  -> chemically-speaking yes, but "water-based" is far more commonly used in the cosmetics industry: try searching water-based-cosmetics vs water-soluble-cosmetics
