Sorbitan Tristearate
Sorbitan TristearateBarrier
An oil-loving nonionic emulsifier used to stabilize emulsions and structure oily and waxy phases.
What it does
Sorbitan Tristearate is an ester of sorbitol and three stearic-acid chains, making it strongly oil-loving. It is used as a co-emulsifier that stabilizes water-in-oil systems and helps control the crystal structure of fats and waxes for a smoother texture. It is a formulation ingredient rather than a skin active.
