Description
Sorbitan stearate is a PEG-free, non-ionic, W/O (water-in-oil) emulsifier and sorbitan ester derived from the reaction of sorbitol with fatty acids. As a lipophilic emulsifier with a low HLB value of 4.7, it is suitable for the formulation of W/O emulsions. It can be also be used in combination with high HLB emulsifiers to form O/W (oil-in-water) skin care creams and lotions, sun protection products, and shower/bath products. Its lipophilic nature makes it soluble or dispersible in oil, favoring its use in oil-based emulsions.
Vegan suitable.
