DESCRIPTION
POLYSORBATE 20

A hydrophilic emulsifier with surfactant properties. A mixture of sorbitol laurate esters and sorbitol anhydrides, consisting predominantly of the monoester, condensed with approximately 20 moles of ethylene oxide. It forms stable, fine-textured oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions that are little affected by high electrolyte concentrations or slight pH changes

Practical formulation guide
Usage level: Variable, depending on the application
How to use and incorporate: Premix with the essential oil, fragrance or oily active at a 1:3 to 1:5 ratio (oil : solubilizer) until uniform, then add slowly to the water while stirring. Adjust the ratio until clear.
Formulation tips:
  • Check clarity cold and after 24 hours; if it turns cloudy, increase the solubilizer.
  • Before scaling up, make a pilot batch and run a stability test (cycles at 4 / 25 / 45 °C/39 / 77 / 113 °F for 4 weeks, checking odor, color, pH, viscosity and separation) in the final packaging.
Compatibility: Compatible with most surfactants and polymers; may reduce the effectiveness of some preservatives.
Storage: In tightly closed containers in a cool, dry place.
Precautions: Avoid contact with eyes.
Technical information for formulators: This sheet describes industrial uses of the raw material in the development of cosmetic products. It is not an efficacy claim for any finished product. The person responsible for the formulation must validate the concentration, compatibility and claims of their product in accordance with applicable regulations.
