The emulsifier called Sorbitan Oleate is primarily derived from a vegetable-based raw material that has an affinity towards oil. It plays a significant role in mixing water and oil. Additionally, it can act as a dispersing and wetting agent, ensuring even dispersion of insoluble particles such as color pigments or inorganic sunscreens like zinc or titanium dioxide. The creation of Sorbitan Oleate involves combining sorbitan, which is a dehydrated sorbitol molecule, with unsaturated fatty acid Oleic Acid. The result is a molecule that is partly soluble in water and partly in oil.
