Details
Polysorbate 20, Derived from Palm, RSPO, MB, Kosher, Halal Polysorbate 20 is a type of emulsifier commonly used in personal care products, food, and pharmaceuticals. It’s a non-ionic surfactant made by esterifying sorbitol (a sugar alcohol) with fatty acids, and the “20” in its name refers to the average number of ethylene oxide units that are added to the sorbitol molecule during production.
