At Aloderma, we're obsessed with crafting science-backed formulas that harness the power of nature's finest ingredients. Our hero ingredient, organic aloe vera, boasts a wealth of skin-loving properties. But to create efficacious and luxurious skincare products, we strategically incorporate additional functional ingredients like Sorbitan Oleate.

Sorbitan Oleate is technically classified as a non-ionic surfactant, derived from the fatty acids of vegetable oils, typically olives. Surfactants possess a unique amphiphilic nature, meaning they harbor both hydrophilic (water-loving) and lipophilic (oil-loving) tendencies within the same molecule. This fascinating characteristic allows Sorbitan Oleate to act as a highly effective emulsifier.

Emulsifiers are the workhorses of many skincare products. They bridge the incompatibility gap between water and oil-based components, forcing them to form a stable and homogenous mixture. This is essential for maintaining an elegant texture and ensuring consistent product performance. Sorbitan Oleate, with its dual-affinity, expertly suspends oil droplets within the water base, preventing separation and creating that luxurious, spreadable texture you love in our formulas.

But the benefits of Sorbitan Oleate extend far beyond aesthetics. Because of its ability to reduce interfacial tension between water and oil, Sorbitan Oleate enhances the penetration of other active ingredients. This translates to superior bioavailability, allowing these actives to reach deeper layers of the skin where they can exert their beneficial effects. In simpler terms, Sorbitan Oleate helps our hero ingredient, aloe vera, and other actives perform at their optimal level.

So, when you incorporate Aloderma products featuring Sorbitan Oleate into your skincare regimen, you can be confident you're getting a stable, luxurious formula that maximizes the delivery of our farm-fresh, organic aloe vera and other efficacious ingredients.
