{"product_id":"span-83-lq-sg-sorbitan-sesquioleate-croda","title":"Span 83-LQ-(SG) (Sorbitan Sesquioleate) – Nonionic Emulsifier by Croda","description":"\u003cp\u003eSpan 83-LQ-(SG) (Sorbitan Sesquioleate) by Croda is the emulsifier that works quietly in the oil phase, doing the structural work that makes a cream feel luxurious, a lotion stay stable, and an emulsion hold together beautifully over time. A nonionic surfactant from Croda’s trusted Span series, it brings a low HLB value and strong lipophilic character that make it particularly effective in water-in-oil (W\/O) systems and as a co-emulsifier in oil-in-water formulations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts amber viscous form integrates smoothly into the oil phase, reducing interfacial tension between oil and water and creating the stable, uniform emulsion structure that underpins every well-made cream or lotion. Beyond emulsification, it contributes to texture — adding a smooth, creamy richness that improves spreadability and skin feel. It also aids in solubilizing fragrances, essential oils, and oil-soluble actives, making it a genuinely multi-functional ingredient in the formulator’s toolkit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEmulsification Power\u003c\/strong\u003e – stabilizes oil-in-water and water-in-oil emulsions effectively\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSolubilization\u003c\/strong\u003e – improves dispersion of fragrances, essential oils, and oil-soluble actives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTexture Enhancement\u003c\/strong\u003e – creates a smooth, creamy, luxurious skin feel and improves spreadability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOpacifying Effect\u003c\/strong\u003e – adds opacity and visual richness to creams and lotions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHigh Compatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e – works well with a wide range of cosmetic ingredients and formulation systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eApplications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCreams, lotions \u0026amp; moisturizers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSerums \u0026amp; emulsions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHair conditioners \u0026amp; styling products\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFoundations, primers \u0026amp; makeup formulations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePharmaceutical creams \u0026amp; ointments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHousehold \u0026amp; personal care products\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRecommended Usage Levels\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eApplication\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eUsage Level\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCreams \u0026amp; Lotions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1% – 5%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEmulsions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1% – 6%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHaircare\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.5% – 3%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMakeup Products\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1% – 4%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Profile\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eINCI:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sorbitan Sesquioleate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTrade Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Span 83-LQ-(SG)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Croda\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAppearance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yellow to amber viscous liquid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nonionic emulsifier \/ surfactant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSolubility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oil-soluble (lipophilic)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHLB Value:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low (suitable for W\/O emulsion systems)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrade:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cosmetic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFormulation Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdd to the oil phase and heat to 70–75°C alongside other oil-phase ingredients before combining with the water phase. For O\/W emulsions, pair with a higher HLB emulsifier (such as Tween 80 \/ Polysorbate 80) to achieve the optimal HLB balance for your system. Particularly effective as a co-emulsifier in complex emulsion systems where stability and texture are both priorities. Works well with silicones, esters, and natural oils.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Herbology","offers":[{"title":"50gm","offer_id":53281095483576,"sku":null,"price":231.0,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":true},{"title":"100gm","offer_id":53281095516344,"sku":null,"price":451.0,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":true},{"title":"250gm","offer_id":53281095549112,"sku":null,"price":1067.0,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":true},{"title":"500gm","offer_id":53281095581880,"sku":null,"price":1980.0,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":true},{"title":"kg","offer_id":53281095614648,"sku":null,"price":3960.0,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0914\/1698\/5784\/files\/span-83.png?v=1775735769","url":"https:\/\/herbology.pk\/products\/span-83-lq-sg-sorbitan-sesquioleate-croda","provider":"Herbology","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
