Polysorbate 60 (Cosmetic Grade) is a non-ionic emulsifying agent used in cosmetics and skincare products. It helps combine oil and water and enhances the texture and stability of creams and lotions. In addition, it's excellent at helping oils suspend in water, making it an ideal choice for oil-in-water emulsions.

Note: Crystallization may occur due to the presence of fatty substances. In that case, it is recommended to warm the liquid before usage.
