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.
