Information
Polysorbate 20 is a non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier commonly used in skincare and cosmetic formulations. It is specifically known for its ability to help liquid and oil-based ingredients mix well together, stabilizing formulations and improving the texture and consistency of products.
Where does it come from?
Polysorbate 20 is part of the Polysorbates family, which is derived from sorbitol, a sugar alcohol derived from fruits or berries, with lauric acid, a fatty acid commonly obtained from coconut oil or palm kernel oil. This reaction creates a compound that has both hydrophilic (liquid-loving) and lipophilic (oil-loving) properties, making it highly effective as an emulsifier and solubilizer in various formulations.
Gentle Cleansing: Provides mild cleansing action, making it suitable for sensitive skin.
Improved Texture: Enhances the overall feel and consistency of skincare products, giving them a smoother application.
How is it used in our products?
Polysorbate 20 is used in Serum Hydroxytyrosol Skin Tint from OLIVE ROSE. It is included for its ability to ensure that oil and liquid components blend seamlessly, resulting in a stable product. Its mild and non-irritating properties are ideal for sensitive skin. It also helps to dissolve essential oils into liquid-based formulations while enhancing the texture and enjoyment of application.
