Description
Polysorbate 20 is a non-ionic emulsifier widely used in home fragrance products. It acts as a bridge between oils and water, allowing them to mix evenly without separating. Thanks to its excellent water solubility, Polysorbate 20 is ideal for room sprays containing essential oils. It provides mixture stability and helps distribute the fragrance evenly throughout the space. This ingredient is mild and non-toxic, making it safe for use in household products. In addition, it improves the shelf life of scented products by keeping their consistency and aroma intact for a longer period.
