Product Overview
NIKOO's Polysorbate 60 (INCI: Polysorbate 60, CAS 9005-67-8), also known as Tween 60, is a high-purity, plant-derived non-ionic surfactant. This amber viscous liquid (HLB 15.0) excels as an emulsifier, solubilizer, and stabilizer across pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and food industries. Engineered for superior performance, it meets pharmacopeial standards (USP, CP2000) and delivers unmatched versatility in complex formulations
Polysorbate 60 is a hydrophilic nonionic surfactant. It is a pale yellow to amber oily liquid or paste at room temperature. It exhibits emulsifying, wetting, and foaming properties. Its HLB value is 14.9, making it an O/W emulsifier.
Physical Properties
Appearance: Pale yellow to amber oily liquid or paste with a slightly bitter taste.
Solubility: Soluble in water, ethanol, methanol, and ethyl acetate; insoluble in mineral oil and vegetable oil.
Viscosity: Kinematic viscosity at 30°C is 300-450 mm²/s (capillary inner diameter 2.0 mm).
Core Applications & Benefits
Functions and Applications
Emulsifier: Used in food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and water-based coatings to stabilize oil-water mixtures.
Dispersant and Stabilizer: Improves dispersion uniformity and prevents precipitation.
Solubilizer: Increases the solubility of poorly soluble active ingredients, such as increasing transdermal absorption of tranexamic acid by 40%.
Moisturizing and Skin Feel Control: A 3% concentration can increase stratum corneum water content by 18%, while a 0.5% addition can reduce viscosity by 25%, improving skin smoothness.
Cosmetics & Personal Care
Emulsion Stabilization: Water-in-oil (W/O) systems for serums, SPF, and moisturizers (CIR-safe: ≤4% leave-on, ≤6% rinse-off).
Sensory Enhancement: Improves spreadability in luxury creams without greasiness.
Storage & Handling
Conditions: 25°C max, ≤60% humidity, sealed/light-resistant containers
Safety: Non-irritating; use gloves/goggles during industrial handling
Safety and Usage Recommendations
Risk for Sensitive Skin: Concentrations exceeding 1% may cause stratum corneum protein denaturation (average incidence rate: 15.3%). Damage index reaches 0.78 at pH <5.5.
Formulation Design: It is recommended to combine with low-irritation ingredients such as C14-22 alcohols. Anti-aging formulas require attention to stability with vitamin E and peptides.
Storage Conditions: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place. Avoid mixing with hazardous substances.
