Sorbitan Monolaurate
What Is Sorbitan Laurate
Sodium monolaurate, also known as sorbitan laurate/SML, is synthesized by the esterification of sorbitan with lauric acid. It has a molecular formula of C18H34O6 . At room temperature, sorbitan monolaurate span 20is a yellow to amber viscous liquid or soft paste. As a kind of sorbitan ester, sorbitan monolaurate has an HLB value of 8.6, it is a W/O emulsifier. It acts as an emulsifier in pharmaceutical and cosmetics formulations, and it not only acts as an emulsifier but also as a wetting agent in the textile industry.

Advantages of Sorbitan Monolaurate
Good emulsifying, stabilizing, lubricating, and dispersing properties
Lipophilic property
Sorbitan monolaurate is suitable for use in isopropanol, mineral oil, liquid paraffin based formulation
Sorbitan monolaurate span 20 can be used in the food, pharmaceutical, feed, and textile industries.
Sorbitan Laurate in Cosmetics
Synthesized by the esterification of sorbitan with lauric acid, thesorbitan monolaurate is widelyusedas W/O emulsifier, stabilizer, lubricants, plasticizers, and desiccant in the medical and cosmetic industry. With the right use,sorbitan monolaurate can work perfectly as both cleansing agents and emulsifiers. However, it should be noted that the overuse of ethoxylated sorbitanmonolaurate (amounts above 5%) may lead to unpleasant skin irritations.
