Polysorbate 80 is a versatile and widely used ingredient in the food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries. It is a synthetic compound that is derived from sorbitol, a sugar alcohol, and oleic acid, a fatty acid derived from vegetable oils.

Polysorbate 80 is often used as an emulsifier and solubiliser in a variety of applications. It is commonly used in food products to help blend oil and water-based ingredients together, such as in salad dressings, ice cream, and baked goods. In cosmetics and personal care products, it is used to create stable emulsions, and to solubilise fragrances and essential oils.

Perfect for bath bombs or bath oils to assist in combining oil and colours together.
