Polysorbates are a widely used class of non-ionic surfactants and emulsifiers, valued for their ability to stabilize oil-in-water emulsions and solubilize a broad range of active ingredients. Their excellent hydrophilic–lipophilic balance makes them highly effective in formulations requiring clarity, stability, and compatibility.
Polysorbates are versatile ingredients employed across multiple industries, including pharmaceuticals, personal care, food, agrochemicals, and industrial formulations, where consistent performance and regulatory acceptance are critical.
