Polysorbate 20 is a nonionic surfactant and emulsifier obtained by the ethoxylation of sorbitan monolaurate. It is widely used in food, pharmaceutical, and personal care industries for solubilizing essential oils, stabilizing emulsions, and improving product consistency. This versatile ingredient is valued for its mildness, water solubility, and ability to reduce surface tension. It is especially suitable for applications requiring fragrance solubilization and gentle cleansing properties.
