Description
Polysorbate 20 is a cosmetic additive that functions as a nonionic surfactant and wetting agent.
It enhances the spreadability of liquids. As a solubilizer, it helps both essential oils and fragrance oils to blend with water based products thereby preventing separation.
As a dispersant, it also helps to diffuse oils throughout water and to prevent the oils from clumping or settling. As an anti-static agent, polysorbate 20 helps to reduce and prevent the buildup of static charges.
Furthermore, it is a thickener as well as a viscosity modifier, which helps prevent changes to a product’s viscosity when it is subjected to varying room temperatures, such as extreme cold or heat.
