What Is Sorbitan Palmitate?

Sorbitan Palmitate is a non-ionic emulsifier derived from sorbitol and palmitic acid. It helps oil and water-based ingredients blend together seamlessly in skincare formulations, creating stable, uniform products.

This gentle emulsifier is particularly valued for its mildness, making it suitable for sensitive skin formulations. It creates smooth, elegant textures while helping active ingredients remain evenly distributed throughout products.
