Sorbitan Palmitate

Description

Sorbitan Palmitate is a non-ionic emulsifier and stabilizer that is formed by the esterification of sorbitan (a derivative of sorbitol) and palmitic acid. It helps to mix water and oils, stabilizing emulsions in creams, lotions, milks, and sunscreens. It also acts as a softening agent, improving texture and enhancing the penetration of active ingredients into the skin.
