Description

It is a viscous, golden-yellow, slightly opalescent liquid with a very mild odour.

It is soluble in water, ethanol, ethyl acetate, methanol and chloroform.

Practically insoluble in fatty oils and liquid paraffin.

It is derived from sorbitol and oleic acid.

These non-ionic surfactant emulsifiers produce stable, finely textured emulsions with an external aqueous phase, relatively unaffected by high electrolyte concentrations or changes in pH.

Used to solubilise a wide variety of substances, including essential oils, perfumes and fat-soluble vitamins.

Also used as a liquid cleansing agent and solubiliser in hair care products, toiletries, perfumes and fragrances.
