SORBETH-30 TETRAOLEATE LAURATE

Description

SORBETH-30 TETRAOLEATE LAURATE is a versatile emulsifier and surfactant commonly used in skincare formulations. This synthetic ingredient is derived from sorbitol, oleic acid, and lauric acid, combining the properties of each to create a multifunctional compound. It acts as an effective oil-in-water emulsifier, helping to stabilize formulations by preventing the separation of oil and water components.

In skincare products, SORBETH-30 TETRAOLEATE LAURATE serves as a mild cleansing agent and emollient, contributing to the smooth texture and feel of creams, lotions, and serums. Its ability to reduce surface tension allows for better ingredient dispersion and improved product spreadability. This characteristic enhances the overall sensory experience and efficacy of skincare formulations.

The ingredient also functions as a solubilizer, aiding in the incorporation of fragrances and essential oils into water-based products. Its low irritation potential makes it suitable for use in sensitive skin formulations. SORBETH-30 TETRAOLEATE LAURATE is typically used at concentrations ranging from 0.5% to 5%, depending on the specific formulation requirements and desired product attributes.
