Derived from sorbitan, lauric acid, and polyethylene glycol, it is water-soluble, clear to slightly yellow in appearance, and remarkably effective at the low concentrations that make it practical for professional formulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts real strength lies in its dual role: as an emulsifier, it creates and stabilizes oil-in-water emulsions with excellent long-term consistency; as a solubilizer, it enables the seamless incorporation of essential oils, fragrances, and actives into water-based systems — including clear sprays, micellar waters, and transparent serums where cloudiness is not an option. For formulators building lightweight, elegant, water-based products that need to stay stable and look beautiful, Tween™ 28 is an indispensable tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStrong O\/W Emulsification\u003c\/strong\u003e – creates stable, smooth oil-in-water emulsions for creams, lotions \u0026amp; serums\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePowerful Solubilizer\u003c\/strong\u003e – dissolves essential oils, fragrances \u0026amp; actives into water-based formulations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSurfactant Action\u003c\/strong\u003e – reduces surface tension for better spreadability and product performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormulation Stabilizer\u003c\/strong\u003e – prevents ingredient separation and improves shelf-life consistency\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUniform Dispersion\u003c\/strong\u003e – evenly distributes insoluble ingredients for a professional, high-quality finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eApplications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSkincare — creams, lotions \u0026amp; serums\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHaircare — shampoos, conditioners \u0026amp; styling products\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody washes \u0026amp; shower gels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerfumes, body sprays \u0026amp; facial mists\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSunscreens \u0026amp; SPF formulations\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\u003eSerums \u0026amp; Emulsions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1% – 3%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBody Wash \/ Shampoo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1% – 4%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFragrance Solubilization\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2% – 10%\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 PEG-80 Sorbitan Laurate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTrade Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tween™ 28-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 Clear to slightly yellow liquid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nonionic surfactant \/ emulsifier\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSolubility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Water-soluble (hydrophilic)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHLB Value:\u003c\/strong\u003e High (ideal for O\/W 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 water phase of formulations — its water solubility means it incorporates easily without heating in most systems. For fragrance solubilization in clear sprays or micellar waters, mix the fragrance with Tween™ 28 first before adding to the water phase for the clearest result. Pair with Span 83 (Sorbitan Sesquioleate) to achieve a balanced HLB system for complex emulsions requiring both stability and elegant texture.
