Overview of TWEEN 60
TWEEN 60, also known as Polysorbate 60, is a non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier widely used in food, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and industrial formulations. It helps oil and water mix smoothly, improves product stability, and enhances texture. Because of its mild nature, TWEEN 60 is commonly chosen for formulations where consistency and safety are important.
TWEEN 60 is usually supplied as a yellow to amber viscous liquid or semi-solid. It works effectively in combination with other emulsifiers such as Sorbitan Monostearate, TWEEN 20, TWEEN 80, Glyceryl Stearate, and Cetyl Alcohol to create stable and well-balanced formulations.
