Sorbitan Oleate is an ingredient that has the following main functions in cosmetics: 1. Emulsification: helps to mix substances that usually do not mix together, such as oil and water. 2. Moisturizing: creates a protective barrier on the skin surface, preventing moisture loss and helping to preserve moisture. 3. Skin softening: has emollient properties that make it useful for reducing dryness and roughness of the skin. 4. In some cases, Sorbitan Oleate can be used as a cleanser to cleanse the skin or hair. It can help remove dirt and excess oil or styling products, leaving the skin and hair fresh and clean.
