FECY Polysorbate 20 (Tween 20)

Polysorbate 80 is a hydrophilic nonionic surfactant. It is utilized as a surfactant in soaps and cosmetics and also as a lubricant in eye drops. In food or pharmaceutical products, it can act as an emulsifier

Polysorbates are a class of emulsifiers used in some pharmaceuticals and food preparation. They are commonly used in oral and topical pharmaceutical dosage forms. They are also often used in cosmetics to solubilize essential oils into water-based products.

It is used in oil in water recipes for lotions, body washes, hair creams, lip gloss, scrubs, dispersing bath oils, conditioners, shampoos, body sprays/linen sprays. Used in formulas with our Crothix pastilles to thicken formulas.

Polysorbates (PSs) are ubiquitous in biotherapeutic formulations, protecting protein drugs from interfacial stresses [1], and are generally considered to be safe within the ranges that are used in biotherapeutics

Amounts of 5% or more have been shown to irritate skin; however, other studies using amounts as high as 15% have not shown an irritant or sensitized response. As such, polysorbate 60 is generally considered safe for skin when used in amounts below 5%, with a 1% coAn alternative for polysorbate 20 is to use the hydrosol version of the essential oil you're looking to incorporate, if one exists. C/C glucoside is primarily a surfactant, but it has great solubilizing properties. For this reason I tend to use it in a lot of liquid foaming products (hand washes, body washes, etc.)ncentration considered non-irritating.

Is polysorbate good for face?

Polysorbate 20 is safe for use on skin and hair. It is sometimes termed as a carcinogen because of the possible contamination with 1,4-dioxane during the manufacturing process. However, proper filtration processes make this ingredient absolutely safe for use.
