Our factory takes pride in offering high - quality Tween 60, a cosmetic grade non - ionic surfactant with versatile applications.
Purity and Quality Assurance
Our Tween 60, also known as polysorbate 60, is synthesized through a precise process involving the reaction of sorbitan monostearate . With advanced purification techniques, we ensure a minimum purity of 99%.
Key Functions
Powerful Emulsification:
Tween 60 is an outstanding emulsifier, especially effective in creating stable oil - in - water (O/W) emulsions. In lotions, it helps evenly disperse oil - soluble drugs in an aqueous base, enhancing their delivery. phase separation.
Solubilization and Wetting:
It can solubilize poorly water - soluble substances. For example, in liquid medications or cosmetic formulations containing essential oils or certain active ingredients, Tween 60 increases their solubility in the aqueous phase.
Safety and Regulatory Compliance
Our Tween 60 complies with international regulations, including those of the US FDA and EU cosmetic directives. It has a long - established safety profile and is widely used in cosmetic products. Toxicological studies have shown it to have a low oral toxicity (LD50 in rats > 38000 mg/kg), making it safe for use in a variety of applications when used within recommended concentrations.
Versatile Applications
Cosmetic Industry:
Incorporated into skincare products like creams, lotions, and serums for its emulsifying and wetting properties. In haircare products such as shampoos and conditioners, it can act as an emulsifier for added ingredients like oils or silicones.
