Polysorbate 80 also known as polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate, consists of sorbitol, ethylene oxide, and oleic acid. It has a molecular formula of C64H124O26. At room temperature, it is in the form of pale-yellow to amber oily liquid. It is an O/W emulsifier with a emulsifier span 80 HLB value of 15.0. It is soluble in water, ethanol, ethyl acetate, and toluene. Polyethylene glycol sorbitan monooleate is a surfactant with numerous applications in food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetics; other than that, it can also use as an emulsifier for culture medium to reduce the surface tension of the medium, which enhances the growth of cells. Polyethylene sorbitan monooleate is also widely used in industrial productions such as use as a wetting agent and dispersant for photographic film making; as a stabilizer and foaming agent for polyurethane foaming plastic.

Polysorbate 80 In Bath Bombs

Capable of exerting great fragrance and providing the users with an excellent bath experience, bath bombs are very popular all around the world. Using the chemical reaction between baking soda and acid, bath bombs can create beautiful bubbles when touching the water. However, many people do not know another scientific principle behind bath bombs. That is the important role of an emulsifier; or more specifically, polysorbate 80 emulsifier. As the water and essence oil inside the bath bombs cannot mix normally, the use of emulsifiers is then of great significance so as to make sure the essential oil and color in the bath bombs can disperse more evenly instead of floating on the top of the bath water. Normally, the proportion of polysorbate 80 emulsifier in the total batch is around 2% in the liquid stage.
