Sorbitan Monolaurate
Polyoxyethylene sorbitan fatty acid esters (polysorbates) are a series of partial fatty acid esters. Polysorbates containing 20 units of oxyethylene are hydrophilic nonionic surfactants that are used widely as emulsifying agents in the preparation of stable oil-in-water pharmaceutical emulsions. They may also be used as solubilizing agents for a variety of substances including essential oils […]
