100% Polysorbate 20 ( Solubilizer ) is a compound produced from ethylene oxide, sorbitol and lauric acid; Food & Cosmetic Grade; Ingredient : 100% Polysorbate Oil
It is commonly used as a wetting agent in flavored mouth drops to spread the feeling of other ingredients such as mint flavor, but it can also be used in food as a flavoring ingredient
The Polysorbate ingredients help other ingredients to dissolve in a solvent in which they would not normally dissolve. They also help to form emulsions by reducing the surface tension of the substances to be emulsified
Used in a variety of products including skin fresheners, skin care products, skin cleansing products, makeup bases and foundations, shampoos, permanent waves and fragrance powders
Polysorbate 20 is the emulsifier of choice of aromatherapists and cosmetic formulators for mixing essential oils in water
Polysorbate 20 (common commercial brand names include Scattics, Alkest TW 20 and Tween 20) is a polysorbate-type nonionic surfactant formed by the ethoxylation of sorbitan before the addition of lauric acid. Its stability and relative non toxicity allows it to be used as a detergent and emulsifier in a number of domestic, scientific, and pharmacological applications. As the name implies the ethoxylation process leaves the molecule with 20 repeat units of polyethylene glycol Polysorbate 20 is a compound produced from ethylene oxide, sorbitol and lauric acid. Generally it is used in combination with other emulsifiers to disperse flavors and colors, improve texture in bakery goods, and to make essential oils and vitamins soluble. IMPORTANT! We sell our products by weight, not by volume! That is, different kind of oils might have different volume while the same bottle size and weight as they have different viscosity.

But it can also be used in food as a flavoring ingredient. T-MAZ 20, TWEEN 20 Polysorbate 20 is considered Vegan, Lactose Free, Gluten Free, Glutamate Free, BSE Free. It is an yellow/golden-colored viscous liquid used as as an emulsifier or surfactant in foods, medicines, skincare products, vaccines etc. It also acts as a surfactant in soaps and cosmetics. Also known as tween 20 it helps bind ingredients like oil and water to each other. It is made from polyethoxylated sorbitan (chemical compounds derived from the dehydration of sugar alcohol), ethylene oxide and oleic acid, a fatty acid found in animal and vegetable fats. It is often an ingredient in body washes, hair shampoos, lotions, creams, bath oils etc.. It is a safe, non-ionic emulsifier. It can be used with a co-emulsifier, such as Lecithin to cover a wide range of oil in water, and water in oil emulsion systems. Individually, it is an excellent solubilizer of essential oils, wetting agent, viscosity modifier, stabiliser and dispersing agent. Frequently Asked Questions Q: Can this be used in food? Yes, it's food grade Polysorbate 80, so it's safe for consuming internally and is often used in food industry. Q: What is it made of? It is a mixture of polyoxyethylene ethers of mixed partial oleic acid esters of sorbitol and its mono- and dianhydrides and related compounds. Q: Is it Halal? Yes, polysorbate 80 is halal as the fatty acid oleic acid is sourced from vegetable oils. Q: Is It Gluten free? Yes, polysorbate 80 is gluten free as it does not contain wheat, rye, barley, or crossbreeds of these grains. And can be used for people with celiac disease. Q: Is It Vegan? Yes, it is vegan as the fatty acid – oleic acid derived from vegetable oils as no animal matter or products derived from animal used in the production. So it is suitable to add in the diet of vegetarians. Manufacturing process According to the FDA, there are generally two steps in the manufacturing process of Polysorbate 80. First is an esterification between oleic acid and sorbitol to obtain sorbitan esters and a second is condensation sorbitan esters with ethylene oxide. Polysorbate 80 can also be produced by reacting sorbitol and ethylene oxide first then esterified with oleic acid, the following are the brief flow chart: Obtaining the mixture of sorbitol and sorbitan by partially dehydrating sorbitol. Adding ethylene oxide to the mixture to obtain sorbitan polyethylene ether. Reacting it with oleic acid. Other information Storage & Shelf Life: Store at 65 - 75°F in a dry and odor-free environment. Best if used within 12 months. GMO: Non GMO!!! This term shall be used to describe products that contain NO ingredients, additives or processing aides derived from commodities that have commercially grown GMO varieties in the supply chain (i.e. contains no soybean, corn, cotton, canola, squash, papaya, potato or tomato).

For the strong hydrophilicity, it can distribute colors (e.g. incorporate mica), fragrances, oils and other ingredients evenly in bath bombs, creams and soaps. The following products may contain polysorbate 20: Bath bombs, Shampoo, Body butter, Soap Ice cream & Pickles Provide a creamy texture Hold fat and water together (or maintain the shape) very well Prevent ice crystals formation Make ice cream resistant to melt As a solubilizer to disperse food flavors and colors. Vitamin supplements & Butter sauce As a solubilizing and dispersing agent in fat-soluble vitamins and vitamin-mineral preparations. Polysorbate 20 produces the creamy sauce; enables butter and water not separate; makes the milk solids, salts, flavors, colors and other ingredients distributed evenly in the sauce. Pharmaceutical EP/USP/NF grade polysorbate 20 can be used as an excipient that acts as an emulsifier, solubilizing agent or suspension stabilizer in various pharmaceutical formulations, such as in the dosage forms of solid, semi-solid and liquid. Polysorbate 20 can be used as an emulsifier and stabilizer in various vaccines, as a lubricant in eye drops.
