Polysorbate 20

High-Quality Emulsifier Polysorbate 20 for Cosmetic and Personal Care Formulations

Also Known As:

  • Tween 20

  • Polyoxyethylene (20) Sorbitan Monolaurate

What is Polysorbate 20?

Polysorbate 20 is a non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier widely used in skincare, haircare, and a variety of personal care products. It is derived from sorbitol (a sugar alcohol) and lauric acid (a fatty acid found in coconut oil), then ethoxylated to enhance its solubility in water and oil.

It appears as a clear to pale yellow viscous liquid with a mild odour, making it easy to blend into formulations without affecting fragrance or colour.

Main Uses and Benefits

✅ Emulsifier – Helps mix oils and water together, stabilising creams, lotions, and sprays.

✅ Solubiliser – Efficiently disperses essential oils, fragrance oils, and active ingredients into water-based products.

✅ Mild Surfactant – Gently cleanses without stripping natural oils, making it suitable for delicate skin and baby care products.

✅ Dispersant – Improves the clarity and stability of liquid formulations like room sprays, mists, and cleansing waters.
