Polysorbate 80, otherwise known as tween, is a vegetable based water-and-oil emulsifier made from sorbitol and oleic acid. Polysorbate 80 is specifically excellent as emulsifying heavy weight oils, such as essential oils and fragrances, into water-based formulas.

When making body sprays, perfumes, bath bombs, hand sanitizer, etc, you can mix in a small amount of polysorbate 80 to your water base, then add in your oils/essential oils/fragrances. The addition of polysorbate 80 allows the water and oil to mix.

What is polysorbate 80 used for? Also known as tween, polysorbate 80 is a natural vegan, vegetable-based water-and-oil emulsifier. When making body sprays, perfumes, bath bombs, hand sanitizer, etc, you can mix in a small amount of polysorbate 80 to your water base, then add in your oils/essential oils/fragrances. The addition of polysorbate 80 allows the water and oil to mix.

Add in up to 3% polysorbate 80 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 80 and fragrance/essential oil (so, if your recipe calls for 1oz of fragrance/essential oil, you will blend that with 1oz polysorbate 80). Mix the fragrance/essential oil with the polysorbate 80, then add to water/spray solution.

Polysorbate 80 is made of sorbitol, derived from corn and RSPO palm. PCR analysis of the sorbitol used indicates it does not contain any GMO material.
