POLYSORBATE 61

Safety grade: A

Polysorbate 61 is a man-made ingredient that helps mix oil and water together in cosmetic products. It's similar to soap in that it allows ingredients that normally don't blend, like oils and water, to work together smoothly.

This ingredient works as an emulsifier and surfactant to blend oil and water-based ingredients together, creating a smooth, stable texture in creams, lotions, and other cosmetic formulations.
