Span 60 50 g

A waxy emulsifier that keeps oil-in-water and water-in-oil systems from separating

Sorbitan stearate, sold under the name Span 60, is a waxy, lipophilic emulsifier known for forming stable water-in-oil emulsions and giving finished products a firm, rich texture. Its widest real-world demand comes from the food industry, where sorbitan stearate is used in confectionery, chocolate coatings, margarine and ice cream to keep the fat phase evenly distributed and prevent separation during storage. In pharmaceutical manufacturing it helps build ointments, suppositories and other semi-solid dosage forms with even distribution of active ingredients. In cosmetic manufacturing it is valued for rich creams, balms, deodorant sticks and nourishing emulsions with a dense feel. This ingredient belongs to the Emulsifiers section, which brings together components for building different types of emulsion systems.

Span 60 is rarely used on its own — it is usually paired with a hydrophilic emulsifier to reach the required overall HLB for a given formula. A classic pairing partner from the same product line is Span 80 50 ml, which gives formulators extra flexibility when balancing hydrophilic and lipophilic fractions. For lighter, self-emulsifying systems it works well alongside ErcaLan 75 100 g, while formulas that need extra stabilization of a gel or thickened water phase often benefit from adding SILIGEL 10 g.

Span 60 should be added to the oil phase and heated to around 65-75 degrees Celsius until the flakes or granules fully melt. The oil phase is then combined with a water phase heated to a similar temperature and containing the hydrophilic emulsifier, followed by homogenizing under constant stirring while the mixture cools. Typical usage levels in cosmetic and pharmaceutical formulas range from 2 to 6 grams per 100 grams of finished product, while food applications require dosage adjustment depending on the specific process and required emulsion stability. The material is compatible with vegetable and mineral oils, waxes, silicones, and most thickeners and preservatives found in water phases. Store it in a dry place at room temperature, in a tightly closed container, away from direct sunlight and excess humidity, to preserve its emulsifying performance for the full shelf life.

The 50 g pack size is convenient for home-based cosmetic making, lab trials and small test batches, letting formulators validate a recipe before scaling up to larger production runs.

Искала натуральные красители для мыла. Нашла их именно в Milo-opt. Качество замечательное, цвета яркие.
