Best Ever

"Tried many other brands. Mixed according to their recomemndations with essential oils and water. After about a month product was starting to separate. With WSSP product after 6 months, no separation. And that is awesome."

"I use Polysorbate 20 to emulsify my bug sprays and it does a great job!"

— Felicia (5/5)

As a 1st Time user. . .

"As a 1st time user of this product, I must say, I enjoyed the results of the products I incorporated it into; room sprays, lotions and CP & CPOP soap. The scent (FO &/or EO) really seemed 'fixed"" into the products. Even after three weeks of use in my cp & cpop soaps, the scents still remain. Thanks for a reasonably priced product that does the job of binding scents into products."

— Terrie (5/5)

— Janelle (5/5)

It's a solubiliser, plain and simple.

"If you want to add something to your shampoo that disables cloudiness and thin foam from rising to the top, add a few milliliters of this baby into it. I buy tons of it."

— Eli (5/5)

Great

"A must have for everyone's supplies while making shampoo, creams or anything with added oil ingredients! I use as a 1:1 ratio. It has no smell and just helps. Bind oil based ingredients when using a water base products. I use this all the time. It is priced really well, expecially compared to other sites! Will order again and again and again."

Hello, I am new to this, I want to make a lathering shave butter, oil based. Doing my research I think I'll need to add an emulsifier, but what's the difference between polysorbate 20, 60, and 80? Thank you: Polysorbate 20 is for adding fragrance (lighter oils) to a water based products. As the Polysorbate number gets higher the heavier the oil.
