DESCRIPTION

An ester of sorbitan (a sorbitol derivative) and stearic acid. It is used mainly as an emulsifier to keep water and oils blended. Sorbitan monostearate is a nonionic surfactant with emulsifying, dispersing and wetting properties.

Practical formulation guide
Usage level: 0.5 - 2%
How to use and incorporate: Melt in the oil phase at 70–75 °C/158–167 °F. Heat the water phase to the same temperature, combine the phases while stirring and homogenize; cool with slow stirring to room temperature. Heat-sensitive ingredients are added below 40 °C/104 °F.
Formulation tips:
  • Combine with co-emulsifiers or stabilizers (cetyl or cetearyl alcohol, glyceryl stearate, xanthan gum) to improve body and stability.
  • To evaluate stability: centrifugation, temperature cycles and observation of separation for 4 weeks.
Compatibility: Compatible with oils, esters, silicones, waxes and most actives; check compatibility with electrolytes and acidic extracts.
Storage: In tightly closed containers in a cool, dry place.
Precautions: Wear latex gloves; avoid eye contact.
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.
