About Product

Polysorbates (20, 60, 80) are nonionic surfactants and emulsifiers widely used in personal care formulations to stabilize oil-water mixtures. They improve texture, spreadability, and solubility in creams, lotions, shampoos, and serums. Polysorbate 20 is ideal for light formulations like facial mists, while Polysorbate 60 and 80 are used in thicker emulsions such as body creams and hair conditioners. Their mild nature makes them suitable for sensitive skin applications.
