Sorbitan Monolaurate
What Is Sorbitan Laurate?
Sorbitan 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 ofsorbitan ester, sodium monolauratehas an HLB value of 8.6, it is a W/O emulsifier. Sorbitan laurateacts 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.

Sorbitan Laurate In Cosmetics
Synthesized by the esterification of ethoxylated sorbitanwith 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 sorbitan monolaurate (amounts above 5%) may lead to unpleasant skin irritations.
