📘 Sourcing Guide

Product Description:

Polysorbates are a class of non-ionic surfactants and emulsifiers widely used in pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetic formulations. Chemically, they are oily liquids derived from the ethoxylation of sorbitan—a sugar alcohol obtained from sorbitol—and subsequent esterification with fatty acids. This structure gives polysorbates excellent solubilizing and emulsifying properties, allowing oils and hydrophobic compounds to be dispersed evenly in water-based formulations.

In pharmaceuticals, polysorbates are commonly used in oral liquids, suspensions, topical creams, and ophthalmic solutions to improve solubility, stability, and bioavailability of active ingredients. Their ability to form stable emulsions ensures uniform distribution of drugs, enhancing efficacy and patient compliance. In cosmetics, polysorbates are used to solubilize essential oils and other hydrophobic ingredients into water-based products, improving texture, consistency, and stability.

Polysorbates are available in different types, such as Polysorbate 20, 40, 60, and 80, depending on the fatty acid component and intended application. Common commercial brands include Tween®, Hedjuvan®, Kolliphor®, Scattics®, Alkest®, Canarcel®, and Kotilen®. Due to their safety, compatibility, and multifunctional properties, polysorbates remain essential excipients in modern pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and cosmetic product development.
