What is Sorbitan Monooleate?

Sorbitan Monooleate is widely used in the food, medicine, vaccine, supplement, and cosmetic industry as an emulsifier, that is, a chemical that holds substances in a solution that would normally not stay dissolved. Sorbitan Monooleate allows foods, cosmetics, and other products to contain oily or other substances that do not normally dissolve in water to maintain their consistency rather than have the ingredients “separate out” to the top or bottom of the container. Emulsifiers make using products easier because consumers don't have to shake or mix them up before each use.

Sorbitan Monooleate comes in two chemical forms that are typically called “polysorbate 80” or “polysorbate 81” on product ingredients lists. It is also sometimes called Alkest or Tween on lists of ingredients.

Sorbitan Monooleate is sold, usually as “Tween 80” or “Tween 81,” as a wholesale commodity to manufacturers. It is not sold to consumers nor prescribed by physicians.
