About Sorbitan Oleate

Sorbitan Oleate is the monoester of a hexitol anhydride obtained from sorbitol and oleic acid.[1] The physical properties and feel of finished products containing Sorbitan Oleate may vary depending on the concentration, the ingredients used with it, the formulation’s acidity, and manufacturing conditions.
