Product Overview

Polysorbate 20 is a versatile, non-ionic surfactant widely used in cosmetic and personal care formulations. It acts as an effective emulsifier and solubiliser, enabling the blending of oil and water-based ingredients. This makes it ideal for creating stable emulsions and clear solutions in products like creams, lotions, sprays, and cleansers.

Key Benefits of Polysorbate 20

  • Emulsification: Facilitates the formation of stable oil-in-water and water-in-oil emulsions
  • Solubilisation: Effectively solubilises essential oils and fragrances into water-based formulations
  • Wetting Agent: Enhances the spreadability and absorption of products on the skin.
  • Viscosity Modifier: Assists in adjusting the thickness of formulations for desired consistency.
  • Stabiliser: Improves the stability and shelf life of emulsions and suspensions.
  • Dispersing Agent: Aids in the uniform distribution of insoluble particles within formulations.

How to Use

  • Skincare Formulations: Incorporate Polysorbate 20 during the emulsification process at a usage level of 1–20%, depending on the specific formulation requirements.
  • Solubilising Essential Oils: Blend Polysorbate 20 with essential oils before adding to water-based products to ensure complete dissolution and clarity.

Applications

  • Creams and lotions
  • Serums and moisturisers
  • Facial cleansers and masks
  • Linen and room sprays
  • Body sprays and mists
  • Other water-based cosmetic products
