PEG-80 Sorbitan Laurate as a Stable O/W Emulsion Stabilizer
01
Product Description
PEG-80 Sorbitan Laurate is an ethoxylated sorbitan monoester of Lauric Acid with an average of 80 moles of ethylene oxide. HLB value: 18-19.5 (gives oil-in-water emulsions).
PEG-80 Sorbitan Laurate functions as an oil-in-water emulsifier and stabilizer for lotions and creams. As a non-irritating, nonionic surfactant, it offers anti-irritation benefits in mixed surfactant systems, effectively reducing the potential for irritation. This makes it an ideal co-surfactant for formulations requiring gentleness, such as baby baths and baby shampoos.
Compatible with both anionic and cationic surfactants, PEG-80 Sorbitan Laurate is particularly well-suited for combination shampoo/conditioner products.
Aogebio® presents PEG-80 Sorbitan Laurate, a premium nonionic surfactant and stabilizer specifically engineered for oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions in advanced cosmetic formulations. With its high HLB value (15-17), our pharmaceutical-grade ingredient delivers exceptional emulsion stability, essential oil solubilization, and gentle cleansing performance – making it ideal for:
✔ Clear Formulations – Stabilizes serums, toners, and fragrance waters without cloudiness
✔ Sensitive Skin Care – Low-irritation alternative to traditional polysorbates
✔ Hot-Process Systems – Maintains efficacy in high-temperature manufacturing
✔ Clean Beauty – ECOCERT-compatible and vegan-friendly
Emulsification
Effectively stabilizes oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions by reducing interfacial tension between oil and water phases, preventing droplet coalescence and ensuring uniform texture.
Solubilization
Solubilizes oil-soluble ingredients in aqueous systems, converting them into clear solutions or stable microemulsions.
Moisturization & Conditioning
Its hydrophilic PEG chains and lipophilic sorbitan/laurate groups form a moisturizing film on skin/hair, improving hydration and reducing dryness.
Stability Enhancement
Improves the compatibility of incompatible components and inhibits crystal formation in formulations.
01
Use
Used in baby wash and bath products. Recommended dosage: 0.5-20%. For external use only.
It also aids in fragrance solubilization and viscosity control when used at levels ranging from 0.5% to 3%.
