Sorbitan Isostearate: Premium Non-Ionic Emulsifier for High-Performance Formulations
HLB 4.7 · Plant-Derived · Global Compliance
Product Overview
NIKOO's Sorbitan Isostearate (INCI: Sorbitan Isostearate, CAS 54392-26-6; 71902-01-7) is a plant-derived, non-ionic emulsifier engineered for superior water-in-oil (W/O) stabilization. With an ultra-low HLB value of 4.7, this amber viscous liquid (≥98% purity) excels in creating non-greasy, sensorially elegant textures while enhancing formulation resilience against temperature fluctuations (stable up to 180°C)
Sorbitan isostearate is an excellent dispersant for titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, and other inorganic pigments. It can be used in lip care and color cosmetics formulations.
Sorbitan isostearate is a nonionic surfactant primarily used in cosmetics, skincare, and some foods. It has emulsifying, stabilizing, and thickening properties.
Sorbitan Isostearate is a high-performance, non-ionic emulsifier widely used in cosmetics, personal care, and pharmaceutical formulations. As a versatile ingredient, it effectively stabilizes water-in-oil (W/O) emulsions, enhances texture, and improves product spreadability.
- Low HLB (4.6): Ideal for W/O emulsions and anhydrous systems
- Temperature Resistance: Stable up to 180°C
- Cold-Process Compatible: Reduces energy consumption in production
Key Features:
- Excellent Emulsifying Properties: Forms stable W/O emulsions with smooth, non-greasy textures.
- Wide Compatibility: Works well with oils, waxes, and other cosmetic ingredients.
- Enhanced Sensory Feel: Delivers a luxurious, silky finish to skincare and makeup products.
- Temperature Stability: Performs reliably under varying temperature conditions.
Core Applications & Benefits
Core Functions
- Emulsifier: Stabilizes water-in-oil or oil-in-water systems, improving product texture stability.
- Stabilizer: Enhances water resistance and improves product texture.
- Thickener: Enhances overall formula performance by controlling viscosity.
Typical Applications
- Skin Care: Used in creams, makeup, and other products to enhance skin feel and formula stability.
- Cosmetics: Acts as a dispersant to improve the dispersion of inorganic pigments (such as titanium dioxide and zinc oxide).
- Food Industry: Some products can be used as food emulsifiers, but safety assessments are required.
Safety
Mildness: Minimal skin irritation, relatively safe for use during pregnancy.
Comedogenicity: May cause acne in leave-on products (such as creams), but not in rinse-off products (such as cleansing oils).
Physical Properties
Appearance: Brown liquid or white powder.
Storage & Handling
Conditions: 25°C max, ≤60% humidity, sealed/light-resistant containers
Safety: Non-irritating; use gloves/goggles during industrial handling
