Description
- Polysorbate 80 is a natural vegetable sourced emulsifier which creates solubility between water based ingredients and oil based ingredients.
- Polysorbate 80 is an excipient that is used to stabilize aqueous formulations.
- Polysorbate 80 is a solubilizing agent acts as a surfactant and increases the solubility of one agent in another. The solubility of Polysorbate 80 allows it to assist in dissolving ingredients that would remain solid under normal circumstances.
