What Are Polysorbates?

Polysorbates are ethoxylated sorbitan esters derived from sorbitol and fatty acids. Each grade differs based on the fatty acid component, yielding specific functional behaviors:

  • Polysorbate 20 – Derived from lauric acid
  • Polysorbate 40 – Derived from palmitic acid
  • Polysorbate 60 – Derived from stearic acid
  • Polysorbate 80 – Derived from oleic acid

All grades combine excellent emulsification with strong solubilization of oils and fragrances and are compatible with a wide range of ingredients and pH conditions.
