SORBITAN LAURATE

Safety grade: A

This is a gentle helper ingredient made from sorbitol (a sugar-like substance) and lauric acid (found in coconut oil). It works behind the scenes to help keep oils and water mixed together smoothly in cosmetic products.

Sorbitan laurate acts as an emulsifier, helping oil and water-based ingredients blend together evenly so the product has a smooth, consistent texture instead of separating.
