Product Info:

Polysorbate 80 is a non-ionic emulsifier and solubilizer used to blend heavier oils, including carrier oils and fragrance oils, into water-based formulations. It helps stabilize emulsions, improve texture, and enhance product performance. It is commonly used in lotions, creams, bath oils, body washes, and hair care formulations to ensure uniform dispersion of oil-based ingredients. Its mild nature makes it suitable for sensitive skin applications.

Formulation Guidelines:

  • Add to the water phase or pre-mix with oils before emulsification
  • Best used with co-emulsifiers for improved stability
  • Ideal for solubilizing carrier oils, heavier essential oils, and fragrance oils in water-based products
  • Works well in bath oils, body sprays, shampoos, and conditioners
