Solubliser and co-emulisfier. Polysorbate 20 is the essential ingredient for making body and room sprays. It acts as a solubiliser, allowing the oil phase of your formula to disperse and fully incorporate into the water phase. This allows you to create a product that is clear and will not separate.
Polysorbate 20 has good solubilising properties and is recommended as a mildness additive in aqueous (water based) Systems for Baby Shampoo and as a cleansing agent in Wet Wipes.
