Polysorbate 60

Low risk

FunctionSolubilizer

What it is — Polysorbate 60 (INCI: Polysorbate 60) is an ethoxylated emulsifier and solubilizer.

What it does — It is commonly used to stabilize oil-in-water emulsions and to help disperse oils and fragrance into water-based formulas.

Typical use — It appears in creams, lotions, cleansers and mists as a supporting emulsifier or solubilizer.

Who it suits / good to know — Present at supporting levels rather than as an active. Because it is ethoxylated, quality suppliers control for trace processing impurities.

Safety — DHALIORA grades it low risk: an ethoxylated compound with potential trace impurity concerns. This reflects the ingredient in general and is not medical advice; patch-test if your skin is easily irritated.

Why we grade it Low: Low risk — ethoxylated compound with potential trace impurity concerns.
