Derived from sorbitol and oleic acid, Polysorbate 80 is more suitable for solubilizing heavier oils than Polysorbate 20. It is commonly incorporated into cleansers, shampoos, body washes, bath products, emulsified oils, and sprays where effective oil dispersion and stability are required.

Polysorbate 80 is valued for its versatility and effectiveness and is frequently used in formulations designed for both rinse-off and leave-on products when properly formulated.

Bath Oils & Emulsified Oils: 5 – 20% for self-emulsifying systems
