Description
Ethoxylated sorbitol (CAS 53694-15-8 ) is a polyol-based surfactant produced by reacting sorbitol with ethylene oxide, yielding a multifunctional ingredient used across personal care, pharmaceutical, and industrial formulations. It functions primarily as an emulsifier, humectant, and solubilizer, helping to stabilize oil-in-water systems and retain moisture in finished products. In personal care formulations, it acts as an emulsifier and humectant. It is commonly used in creams, lotions, and serums, improving skin feel and extending product shelf stability. Pharmaceutical manufacturers use it as a carrier and solubilizing agent in topical preparations. This ingredient is essential where consistent active ingredient dispersion is required. Textile and leather processors incorporate it into finishing baths and softening formulations to improve fiber lubrication and surface uniformity. In industrial and household cleaning products, it supports emulsification of oils and greases, contributing to detergent performance across a range of pH conditions. This versatility makes it a staple in chemical manufacturing. Ethoxylated sorbitol is typically supplied as a viscous liquid. It is available in technical and cosmetic grades, with grade selection driven by application requirements and regional regulatory compliance. Bulk supply is standard for industrial buyers, with intermediate packaging available for formulators requiring smaller volumes. This ensures flexibility for both large-scale production and specialized laboratory testing. Contact us for supply of Ethoxylated sorbitol Request Quote
