Polysorbate Scribe
Polysorbate Scribe
Ingredient:
Polysorbate 80 (aka polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate or Tween™ 80)
What it is:
Polysorbate 80 is made from natural sorbitol and plant-based oleic acid.
What it does:
Currently, the main use of Polysorbate 80 is as an emulsifier or defoamer in foods,
vitamins, medicines, and vaccines. But, this versatile ingredient can also act as a
surfactant in soaps and cosmetics, as well as a solubilizer – which is what we use it for.
As a solubilizer in our mouthwash, it helps dissolve ingredients so that they can more
easily blend together.
