Polysorbate 60 (Bris TW60) – Cosmetic Grade Emulsifier

Polysorbate 60 (Bris TW60) is the emulsifier that makes the impossible possible in formulation — getting oil and water to not just coexist, but to form a stable, smooth, uniform blend that stays that way. As a nonionic surfactant derived from sorbitol and fatty acids, it bridges the gap between incompatible phases, allowing formulators to incorporate oils, fragrances, and actives into water-based systems with confidence.

Its versatility is what makes it a staple across industries. In cosmetics, it creates the creamy, stable emulsions that define premium skincare. In food, it keeps ice cream smooth and dressings uniform. In pharmaceuticals, it solubilizes and stabilizes active compounds for reliable delivery. Wherever you need ingredients to work together seamlessly, Polysorbate 60 is the ingredient that makes it happen.

Formulation Tips

Add during the oil or emulsification phase for best results. Works most effectively in oil-in-water emulsion systems. Combine with co-emulsifiers (such as Cetearyl Alcohol or GMS) for enhanced emulsion stability and richer texture. Compatible with both hot and cold process formulations — making it flexible for a wide range of manufacturing approaches.
