Overview of Sorbitan Monolaurate

Sorbitan Monolaurate is a non-ionic emulsifier and surfactant made from the combination of the fatty acid lauric acid and a polyol sorbitol. Sorbitan Monolaurate is ideal for creating stable oil and water emulsions when used in creams, lotions, and cleansers. It is also an extremely mild detergent, has excellent wetting property, improves the performance of topical agents without irritating, and is therefore suitable for use with sensitive skin types.

In personal care, it stabilizes emulsions and improves product spreadability. Related products, such as Triethyl Citrate, Glycerin, Caprylyl Glycol, Polysorbate 20, and Sorbitan Monooleate, enhance its performance in formulations.

ChemicalBull supplies high-purity Sorbitan Monolaurate suitable for cosmetic and personal care-grade use.
