Overview
Sorbitan oleate is a yellow or amber liquid with a high viscosity. This ingredient serves primarily as an emulsifier that produces water-in-oil emulsions. These emulsions consist of water droplets surrounded by a continuous oil phase and tend to be heavier and oilier than oil-in-water emulsions.
Sorbitan oleate can also be combined with more water-loving emulsifiers, in which they serve as co-emulsifiers for the formation of oil-in-water emulsions.
This natural emulsifier is vegetable-based and free of ethoxylates, which is a common requirement for modern formulations that are catering to customers who desire more natural skincare products.
