Where does it come from?
Polysorbate 20 is part of the Polysorbates family, which is derived from sorbitol, a sugar alcohol derived from fruits or berries, with lauric acid, a fatty acid commonly obtained from coconut oil or palm kernel oil. This reaction creates a compound that has both hydrophilic (liquid-loving) and lipophilic (oil-loving) properties, making it an ideal emulsifier and solubilizer in various formulations.
