Polysorbate 20

Polysorbate 20 is a gentle, non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier commonly used in cosmetic formulations. Derived from lauric acid, it is widely incorporated to help blend water with essential oils or fragrance oils. Typically clear to pale yellow in appearance, it is water-soluble and remains stable across a wide pH range, making it suitable for use in a variety of personal care and skincare products.

Benefits:

1. Mild and commonly used emulsifier in cosmetic formulations
2. Suitable for solubilizing essential oils and fragrance oils
3. Supports the creation of stable and clear formulations
4. Works as a dispersing agent in water-based products
5. Helps improve product texture and consistency

How to Use:

• Solubilizing Oils: Mix Polysorbate 20 with essential or fragrance oils at a ratio of 1:1 to 1:5, depending on formulation requirements and clarity.
• Emulsification: Add to the water phase during formulation and mix until fully incorporated.
• Suitable for both cold and hot process formulations.
