Polysorbate 20 / Tween 20 (Cosmetic Grade)
Polysorbate 20 / Tween 20 (Cosmetic Grade)
Polysorbate 20 (Cosmetic Grade) is a high-grade oil-in-water emulsifier ideal for many personal care products, such as creams, lotions, and gels. By stabilizing oil and water, it enables products to remain in suspension within the same solution. Polysorbate 20 is a low-cost, skin-friendly ingredient, making it the perfect choice for many cosmetic applications.
Note: Crystallization may occur due to the presence of fatty substances. In that case, it is recommended to warm the liquid before usage.
