Sorbitan Palmitate

Sorbitan Palmitate, also known by its INCI name Sorbitan Palmitate, serves as a versatile solid, non-ionic, lipophilic emulsifier that significantly enhances the stability and texture of various cosmetic formulations. This ingredient is primarily utilized in oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions, where it functions as an auxiliary emulsifier and stabilizer, ensuring a smooth and uniform blend of oil and water phases. With a saponification value ranging from 139 to 151, Sorbitan Palmitate not only improves the consistency of products but also contributes to their overall performance, making it a valuable component in a wide array of skincare and cosmetic formulations. Its ability to facilitate effective emulsification empowers formulators to create luxurious textures that help deliver active ingredients effectively.
