Sorbitan palmitate is a monoester of palmitic acid and hexitol anhydrides derived from sorbitol. Primarily used in skin care as an emulsifier. Capable of improving spreadability and dispersing ingredients. Used in combination with the Tween series.
Elevate your skincare and beauty products with Sorbitan Palmitate, a high-performance water-in-oil (W/O) emulsifier designed to create ultra-stable, rich, and creamy textures for premium cosmetic formulations. As a plant-derived, non-ionic emulsifier, it delivers exceptional emulsification, stabilization, and texture enhancement, making it ideal for luxury creams, lotions, balms, and sensitive skin care products.
Forms stable, long-lasting emulsions without separation.
Delivers a non-greasy, silky-smooth feel for high-end skincare.
Perfect for clean beauty, baby care, and sensitive skin formulations.
Acts as an emulsifier, thickener, and stabilizer in one.
Forms stable emulsions by reducing interfacial tension between oil and water phases, suitable for creating W/O emulsions or balancing HLB in complex systems.
Improves the consistency of creams and lotions, providing a smooth, non-greasy feel while preventing oil separation.
Assists in dispersing oil-soluble ingredients in formulations, often used in conjunction with hydrophilic surfactants like Polysorbates.
Creates a protective barrier on the skin, enhancing moisture retention and improving the sensory experience of products.
