INCI: Polysorbate-80

What is Polysorbate-80?
Polysorbate-80 is a non-ionic surfactant used to emulsify and stabilize formulations, allowing ingredients that would normally not mix—such as water and oil—to blend evenly. Its ability to reduce surface tension makes it a valuable ingredient in products like creams, lotions, and shampoos. It comes from sorbitol, which is a sugar alcohol naturally found in various fruits and vegetables.
