Polysorbate 60

Polysorbate 60 is a widely used cosmetic-grade emulsifier and solubilizing agent commonly incorporated into skincare, haircare, and personal care formulations. Derived from sorbitol and fatty acids, it helps blend oil-based and water-based ingredients to create smooth, uniform cosmetic products. With its stable structure and compatibility with a wide range of formulation ingredients, Polysorbate 60 is frequently used in creams, lotions, cleansers, and bath products. Its ability to support consistent texture and dispersion makes it a valued ingredient in modern cosmetic formulation design.
