About PEG-20 Sorbitan Cocoate

PEG-20 Sorbitan Cocoate is the ethoxylated sorbitan ester of coconut acid, with an average of 20 moles of ethylene oxide.[1] The number 20 in the name indicates the average number of ethylene oxide units added. Within the same basic structure, changing this number can alter water miscibility and the formulation's viscosity and spreadability. In cosmetics, it is used to create emulsified formulations in which water and oil are evenly mixed and to lower surface tension so ingredients can wet, mix, and spread evenly.[2]
