Effect and Function of Polysorbate 80 in Skin Care and Cosmetics

Many consumers may notice some cosmetics contain a kind of chemical substance called "polysorbate 80 skin care  /  polysorbate 80 for skin", but they do not know the effect and function of this substance and would like to know whether the product containing polysorbate 80 in cosmetics  /  polysorbate 80 uses in cosmetics is good or not.


Polysorbate 80 is a yellow viscous liquid mainly used as the surfactant and emulsifier in cosmetics and skin care products. As for polysorbate 80 emulsifier, polysorbate 80 is relatively safe non-toxic chemical. It can be used by pregnant women, and it is non-acnegenic.

 Runhua is a professional global chemical engineering company based in China. We provide non ionic surfactant, polysorbate for skin, polysorbate in skin care, ethoxylated sorbitan ester, and etc. Want know more about is polysorbate 80 safe for skin and what products contain polysorbate 80?

What is HLB value?

图片
  WHAT IS HLB ? HLB value is the abbreviation for hydrophilic-lipophilic balance, it is the ratio between the hydrophilic portions and lipophilic portion of a surfactant. It is represented by a number between 1 and 20. An HLB value less than 6 indicates that the surfactant favors W/O emulsion; an HLB value greater than 8 favors O/W emulsion. HLB values in between 7 and 9 indicate that the surfactants are good wetting agents. Huana  has been professionally concentrated on Sorbitan  Esters & Polysorbates since 1993, with decades of R&D and production experience.

Differences between polysorbate 20 and polysorbate 80

  W hat I s the D ifference between polysorbate 20 and 80   Synthetic Raw Materials Difference between  P olysorbate 20 80 Polysorbate 20 is a product of the polymerization reaction of sorbitan monolaurate and ethylene oxide, while polysorbate 80 is synthesized by the polymerization of sorbitan monooleate and ethylene oxide.   Application Difference between Polysorbate 20 and 80 P olysorbate 20 uses in cosmetics   is known as a non-ionic stain remover because it has relatively more hydrophilic groups (polyoxyethylene), which gives it a strong hydrophilicity property. Polysorbate 20 is usually used as an oil-in-water(O/W) type emulsifier and solubilizer.   Polysorbate 80 is one of the most common polysorbates. The   polysorbate 80 emulsifier   has significant resistance to electrolyte and strong hydrophilicity, which allow it to be widely used in liquid, semisolid and solid preparations. Polysorbate 80 is used as an oil-in-water(O/W) type emulsifie...
