SORBITAN PALMATE

Safety grade: A

Sorbitan palmate is a mild, plant-derived ingredient made from sorbitol (a sugar alcohol) and palmitic acid (found in palm oil). It helps bind together ingredients that normally don't mix well, like oil and water.

This ingredient acts as an emulsifier to keep oil and water-based components mixed together smoothly in cosmetic formulas, while also softening the skin and preventing the product from separating.
