PEG 160 SORBITAN TRISOTEAEATE

(0 review)
PEG-160 Sorbitan Triisostearate is a high-performance, non-ionic emulsifier and solubiliser designed for advanced cosmetic and personal care formulations. It is particularly valued for its ability to solubilise oils, fragrances, and lipophilic actives into clear or translucent aqueous systems while maintaining excellent stability. Widely used in micellar waters, facial cleansers, makeup removers, and clear cleansing formulations, PEG-160 Sorbitan Triisostearate provides mild cleansing action, enhanced clarity, and improved sensory performance. Its gentle nature makes it suitable for sensitive skin and sulfate-free products.
