Polysorbate 60 is a non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier commonly used in food and cosmetic products. It helps blend ingredients that typically do not mix well, such as oil and water, improving texture and stability. In the food industry, Polysorbate 60 is often found in baked goods, ice creams, and salad dressings. In cosmetics, it is used in lotions and creams to enhance consistency and spreadability. It is generally recognized as safe by regulatory agencies when used in appropriate amounts.
