Description

Sorbitan caprylate is a multifunctional ingredient. It is not only known as a humectant, but also as an emulsifier which helps to stabilize emulsions. Additionally, it can help to increase viscosity. While this effect in o/w systems depends on the chosen system, the viscosity increase of sorbitan caprylate in PEG-based systems is high.
