POLYSORBATE 40

Safety grade: A

Polysorbate 40 is a man-made ingredient that helps mix oil and water together in cosmetic products. It works like a bridge between ingredients that normally don't blend, keeping creams and lotions smooth and uniform.

This ingredient acts as an emulsifier and surfactant to blend oil and water-based ingredients together and help products spread easily on skin.
