Polysorbate 80 is primarily used as an emulsifier or surfactant in skin care products.

It has a golden-yellow colour and a very neutral scent. It’s most commonly used in products with ingredients that won’t otherwise disperse or blend easily in water which is why it works so well in bath bombs, allowing the mica powder to disperse easily into your mixture, creating a more even distribution of colour.

Not only that, but any oils present in your bath bomb won’t then sit at the top of the bath water (and it won’t then stick to the sides of the tub or to your skin!) but will mix with the water, so you get more benefit from those oils on the skin.

You can use Polysorbate 80 in many bath and body products including:

• Bath Bombs
• Whipped Soap
• Lotions
• Bath Oil
• Body Washes
• And much more!
