Sorbitan cocoate

Sorbitan cocoate (CAS 68154-36-9 ) is a sorbitan ester derived from coconut fatty acids, functioning as a non-ionic emulsifier and wetting agent across personal care, food, and industrial applications. It balances oil and water phases in formulations where mildness and skin compatibility are procurement priorities. In cosmetics and personal care, it stabilizes water-in-oil emulsions in creams and lotions. This ingredient contributes moisturizing properties to the finished formula while maintaining stability. Food manufacturers use it as an emulsifier in fat-based systems and coatings where a clean-label ingredient is preferred. In textile processing, it acts as a fiber lubricant and wetting agent, improving dye penetration. It also reduces surface tension during wet finishing, ensuring uniform results across various fabric types. Home care and industrial cleaning formulators incorporate it to enhance surfactant compatibility. It improves substrate wetting in low-irritant cleaning concentrates designed for sensitive environments. Sorbitan cocoate is typically supplied as an amber to yellow liquid or paste, depending on the fatty acid profile. It is available in technical and cosmetic grades for diverse manufacturing needs. The cosmetic grade meets purity requirements for personal care applications. Bulk supply is standard in drums and IBCs, with some suppliers offering food-grade material for emulsification in edible coatings. Contact us for supply of Sorbitan cocoate Request Quote
