- Polyoxyethylene sorbitan monolaurate, trade name Tween 20 NF, FCC. A non-toxic, food grade, water soluble oily liquid derived from lauric acid (coconut oil). Used as an emulsifier or co-emulsifier in creams and lotions, a stabilizer of essential oils in water, and a nonionic surfactant. May be of use in any formula where a liquid food grade emulsifier is required. Can be used to emulsify or solubilize essential oils or fragrances / fragrance oils in water to make scented water based sprays. To formulate a water based spray start testing with equal parts (1:1) polysorbate to eo/fo, mix well, then add, very gradually while constantly stirring, to water. If the product is not completely emulsified (may be cloudy but eo/fo doesn't separate out upon sitting) or solubilized (product is clear and remains clear upon sitting), increase the amount of polysorbate. Can be used to emulsify water based/soluble sweeteners into oil based formulas like lip balms, lip glosses, flavoured massage oils and body products etc. Mix the sweetener (honey, sugar solution, liquid stevia, liquid sugar twin etc.) with polysorbate first, then add to oil base formula. Could also be used in the same way to emulsify liquid colours into oil based formulas HLB 16.7 Product of the USA
