Sorbitan Stearate

Sorbitan Stearate, also known by its INCI name Sorbitan Stearate, serves as an effective emulsifying agent derived from the natural components of sorbitol and stearic acid. With a saponification value ranging from 147 to 157 and an HLB value of 4.7, it is particularly well-suited for creating stable water-in-oil emulsions, making it an essential ingredient in many cosmetic formulations. Its ability to blend oil and water phases not only enhances the texture and stability of lotions and creams but also contributes to a luxurious feel on the skin. This versatile ingredient is a favorite among formulators looking to achieve optimal emulsion stability and improve product performance.
