Polysorbate 80

Polysorbate 80 specifically is a common fragrance and essential oil solubiliser as well as an emulsifying agent.

Soluble in alcohol and water but not in oil, Polysorbate 80 is characteristically a co-emulsifier that is used to modify the viscosity (i.e. thickness) of a product. It can also be used as a fragrance and essential oil dispersal agent for various sprays.

You can create bath oils by combining Polysorbate 80 with any suitable oil. It can also be used in products such as bath bombs, sugar or salt scrubs and whipping or foaming body creams.
