Polysorbate 20

Polysorbate 20 is a gentle, non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier derived from lauric acid (typically from coconut oil) and ethylene oxide. Widely used in cosmetic formulations, it is ideal for combining water and essential oils or fragrance oils. Clear, colorless to pale yellow in appearance, it is water-soluble and highly stable across a wide pH range, making it an essential ingredient for personal care and skincare products.

Benefits:

1. Â Mild and non-irritating emulsifier
2. Â Ideal for solubilizing essential and fragrance oils
3. Â Helps create stable, clear formulations
4. Â Excellent dispersing agent in water-based products
5. Enhances product texture and application

How to Use:

• Solubilizing Oils: Mix Polysorbate 20 with your chosen essential or fragrance oil at a ratio of 1:1 to 1:5, depending on clarity and strength desired.
• Emulsification: Blend into the water phase during formulation. Stir gently until fully combined.
• Suitable for cold or hot process applications.
