Polysorbate 80 (common commercial brand names include Scattics, Alkest TW 80 and Tween 80) is a polysorbate-type nonionic surfactant formed through the ethoxylation of sorbitan before the addition of oleic acid. As the name suggests, this process leaves the molecule with 20 repeat units of polyethylene glycol. Polysorbate 80 is produced from ethylene oxide, sorbitol, and oleic acid. It is commonly used as an emulsifier and solubilizer in food, cosmetic, and personal care formulations. It is often used in combination with other emulsifiers to help disperse flavors and colors, support texture in bakery goods, and blend oils into water-based formulations.
