Polysorbate 85
Polysorbate 85 is a non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier derived from sorbitol and a blend of fatty acids, primarily oleic and stearic acids. It is commonly used in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and personal care products for its excellent emulsifying and solubilizing properties. Polysorbate 85 helps create stable oil-in-water emulsions and is particularly effective in formulations requiring enhanced wetting and dispersing capabilities. It improves texture, spreadability, and product stability, making it ideal for creams, lotions, and various topical applications.
Polysorbate 85 Overview
Polysorbate 85 is a versatile emulsifier that ensures stable oil-in-water emulsions, enhancing the texture and spreadability of personal care and pharmaceutical formulations. Its mild and gentle profile makes it suitable for sensitive skin applications, while its compatibility with a wide range of ingredients supports flexible formulation designs. It prevents phase separation and extends shelf life, delivering consistent product performance.
