I see some comments saying that it is not natural,POLYSORBATE 20, 40, 60 AND 80POLYSORBATE 20, 40, 60 AND 80Polysorbates are derived from ethoxylated sorbitan (a sorbitol derivative) esterified with fatty acids and exist as oily liquids. These polysorbates belong to the class of emulsifiers used in pharmaceutical products and food preparations (salad dressings, ice creams, chocolates, bakery products and confectionery). They are used in cosmetics to solubilize essential oils in water-based products, pharmaceuticals, detergents, paints and plastic applications. These polysorbate surfactants consist mainly of esters of oleic, stearic or lauric fatty acids with cyclic ethers derived from sorbitol (sorbitans and sorbides) and further polymerized with approximately 20 oxirane molecules per polysorbate molecule.Polysorbate 20 (polyoxyethylene (20) sorbitan monolaurate)Polysorbate 40 (polyoxyethylene (20) sorbitan monopalmitate)Polysorbate 60 (polyoxyethylene (20) sorbitan monostearate)Polysorbate 80 (polyoxyethylene (20) sorbitan monooleate)The number following the "polysorbates" part reflects the type of fatty acid connected to the polyoxyethylenesorbitan part of the molecule. Monolaurate is indicated with 20, monopalmitate with 40, monostearate with 60 and monooleate with 80. The number 20 following the "polyoxyethylene" part refers to the total number of oxyethylene groups - (CH2CH2O) - found in the molecule.Polysorbate 80Polysorbate 20 (commercially called Tween 20) is derived from sorbitol, a naturally occurring sugar alcohol, and forms a polysorbate-type nonionic surfactant by ethoxylation of sorbitan (derived from the dehydration of sorbitol) prior to the addition of lauric acid. Polysorbate 20 is relatively non-toxic and stable, so it can be used as an emulsifier and detergent in various household, scientific and pharmacological applications. Tween 20 works as a good wetting agent that is applied to foods in flavored oral drops, providing an extension sensation to other added flavor ingredients. In biochemical applications, polysorbate 20 is used as a washing agent in immunoassays, a solubilizing agent for membrane proteins, and lysis solutions for mammalian cells. While in the pharmaceutical sector, it works as an excipient helping to stabilize emulsions and suspensions. The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel evaluated the scientific data and concluded that polysorbate 20 is safe for use in cosmetic formulations.Tween 80 (Polysorbate 80) is an amber/golden viscous water-soluble liquid. It is made from polyethoxylated sorbitan (derived from the dehydration of sorbitol, a sugar alcohol) and oleic acid, a fatty acid found in animal and vegetable fats. Due to this structure, polysorbate 80 forms an approximate hydrophilic-lipophilic balance of 15. The final products are free of genetically modified organisms and of plant origin. Polysorbate 80 (or E433) is a nonionic surfactant and emulsifier used in foods as an emulsifier for salad dressings and chocolates, in cosmetics for skin preparation, facial cleansers and hair care products, and to disperse active ingredients in pharmaceutical products that benefit the pharmaceutical industry.

This worked perfectly for my homemade bath bombs! The best price too!

Very good product I recommend it

Easy to use, mixes well with the oils I use for homemade oil cleanser. It doesn't sting my eyes and it helps get my eye makeup off.

Product was as I expected it to be. The delivery was on time. The only problem is that I have requested all deliveries be left at the back door. There are a few reasons why this is important. The package was left at the front door. The check-off pic states left at back door, but was left at front door.

This product shipped fast and was exactly as described. I LOVE that they sent the bottle out with a regular lid on it and included a second lid for actually dispersing the product! This helped to ensure there were no leeks in transit, something a lot of sellers overlook. I own a all natural health/beauty, household/ laundry, and cosmetics LLC and so many times I receive supplies that have spilled in transit, which was not an issue here whatsoever. I will definitely be ordering again...

I’m using this in bath bombs and shower steamers. It does keep the colorant from sticking to the tub. I will buy again.

Best for making facial oil cleanser (DIY at YouTube). You'll save a lot of money when you make your own which is very easy & quick to make...about 2 minutes. Facial oil are getting to be ridiculously expensive $30 to $50 for 150 ml to 200 ml whereas you can make a facial oil cleanser for $20 for 1000 ml. I gave 400 ml to my friend & he's very happy with the results. This is the first step in double cleansing when doing the Korean skincare routine. Almost 60 but has zero wrinkles or fine lines & no botox or facelift surgery.
