About PEG-6 Sorbitan Oleate

PEG-6 Sorbitan Oleate is the ethoxylated sorbitan ester of oleic acid, with an average of 6 moles of ethylene oxide.[1] The number 6 in the name indicates the average number of ethylene oxide units added. With the same base structure, changing this number may also change water compatibility and the viscosity and spreadability of the formula. In cosmetics, it is used to create emulsions in which water and oil are evenly mixed.[2]
