POLYSORBATE 60

Safety grade: A

Polysorbate 60 is a gentle helper ingredient made from sorbitan (derived from sorbitol, a sugar alcohol) and fatty acids. It works like a tiny bridge that helps mix oil and water together in cosmetic products.

This ingredient helps blend oil and water-based ingredients together so they stay mixed, and it also helps the product spread smoothly on skin without leaving a greasy residue.
