What is polysorbate 20 used for? Polysorbate 20 is a water-and-oil emulsifier. When making body sprays, perfumes, bath bombs, hand sanitizer, etc, you can mix in a small amount of polysorbate 20 to your water base, then add in your oils/essential oils/fragrances. The addition of polysorbate 20 allows the water and oil to mix.

Add in up to 3% polysorbate 20 into your lotions, creams, sprays, bath bombs, bath fizzies, shower gel, body wash, conditioner and more to help stabilize your fragrance/essential oils.

To use in a room or body spray, add equal amounts of polysorbate 20 and fragrance/essential oil (so, if your recipe calls for 1oz of fragrance/essential oil, you will blend that with 1oz polysorbate 20). Mix the fragrance/essential oil with the polysorbate 20, then add to water/spray solution.

We do carry both polysorbate 80 and 20. 80 is a stronger version and is vegetable derived.
