Polysorbate 60 surfactant

Technical Datasheet | Supplied by Alfa Chemistry

Polysorbate 60 surfactant by Alfa Chemistry acts as a surfactant and emulsifier. It is a type of polyoxyethylene sorbitan fatty acid ester and is derived from sorbitol and oleic acid. It helps in mixing together ingredients that do not naturally mix well, such as oil & water. It enhances the solubility of certain ingredients, improves spreadability, softens & moisturizes the skin and reduces the formation of redness & itchiness. Polysorbate 60 surfactant provides texture and improves the stability & consistency in cosmetic products such as lotions, creams & makeup products.
