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.
