Polysorbate 80 Emulsifier is an amber/golden-coloured water-soluble viscous liquid. It is manufactured from polyethoxylated sorbitan (derived from the dehydration of sorbitol, sugar alcohol) and oleic acid, a fatty acid found in animal and vegetable fats. Due to this structure, polysorbate 80 forms an approximate hydrophilic-lipophilic balance of 15. The final products are free from genetically modified organisms and of vegetable origin. Polysorbate 80 (or E433) is a nonionic surfactant and emulsifier find use in foods as an emulsifier for salad dressings and chocolates, in cosmetics for preparing the skin, facial cleansers, and hair care products, and to disperse active ingredients in pharmaceuticals benefiting the pharmacological industry.
The solubility of Polysorbate 80 allows it to assist in dissolving ingredients that would remain solid under normal circumstances. In foods like ice cream, Polysorbate 80 is added up to 0.5% (v/v) concentration to make the ice cream smoother and easier to handle and increase its resistance to melting. Vitamins, tablets, and supplements also contain Polysorbate 80 because of its preservative nature. Polysorbate 80, a nonionic surfactant, is used in soaps and cosmetics (including eyedrops) or as a solubilizer in mouthwashes.
To get the same beautiful colours, you use in your other bath and body products, add Polysorbate 80 at about 2% (of your total batch) in your liquid stage. This should eliminate any ring around the tub or floating mica that can occur if you don't use it. The full name polyoxyethylene (20) sorbitan monostearate or Polysorbate 60 or Tween 60 is a synthetic ingredient made from a reaction of sorbitol, stearic acid (C18), and ethylene oxide. Due to this structure, polysorbate 60 forms an approximate hydrophilic-lipophilic balance of 14.9. The primary use of Tween 60 as an emulsifier in food (number E435) and as a solubilizer & surfactant in cosmetics is well known.
Polysorbates 60 and 80 are the most commonly used in bakery food production. They help to extend shelf life, improve strength and increase the volume of baked goods and frozen desserts. As a high HLB emulsifier, its food grade can be blended with a low HLB emulsifier (e.g.sorbitan stearate, mono, and diglycerides) to provide a suitable HLB value for the various food uses, either oil in water or water in oil emulsion.
Its general purpose in cosmetics is to mix water and oil. Polysorbate 60 functions as a surfactant, emulsifier, solubilizer, and dispersing agent.
Some of its applications are as follows:
-
Help wash away body dirt by lowering the surface tension on the skin when used in shampoos and body washes.
-
It helps distribute essential oils, fragrances and colourants evenly in water for Lotions, Creams, Hair products, Skin care products, and Makeup products.
