Polysorbate 60 represents the pinnacle of oil-in-water (O/W) emulsification technology, offering cosmetic chemists an unparalleled solution for creating stable, luxurious emulsions. This premium-grade emulsifier has become the industry benchmark for formulators demanding exceptional performance in their skincare and beauty products.
It consists of sorbitol, ethylene oxide, & stearic acid (polyoxyethylene-60 sorbitan monostearate); stearic acid is derived from vegetable oil, purity > 98%. HLB value: 14-16 (gives oil-in-water emulsions).



Forms ultra-stable emulsions resistant to phase separation.
Perfect for serums, lotions, and moisturizers.
Improves ingredient solubility and bioavailability.
Warm to melt before use. Recommended dosage: 0.5-5%. For external use only. It can be used with the Span series to formulate stable water-in-oil emulsions and can be used as a solubilizer and mild nonionic surfactant.
