Polysorbate 60 is a synthetic emulsifier and surfactant derived from sorbitol, ethylene oxide, and stearic acid. It helps oil and water-based ingredients mix together smoothly, preventing separation in cosmetic formulations. It also functions as a solubilizer, allowing small amounts of oils or fragrances to dissolve in water.
