Sorbitan stearate is a surfactant composed of sweetener sorbitol and stearic acid, a naturally occurring fatty acid. A mild, all-purpose water-in-oil emulsifier that allows water and oil to blend.
It can create stable water-in-oil emulsions and emulsify oils of different polarities when used in combination with polysorbate 60 or 80. It also functions as a dispersing agent and provides thickening properties.
This high-performance Sorbitan Stearate is a cosmetic-grade W/O (water-in-oil) emulsifier that revolutionizes emulsion stability in professional skincare products. This versatile, plant-derived emulsifier is specifically engineered to create rich, creamy textures while ensuring long-term formulation stability across diverse cosmetic applications.
