ploysorbate-80

[melstan775]

Has anyone used polysorbate-80 as an emulsifying additive in their bath products? I read a description of it with contradicting descriptions that

A - it is insoluable in oils

and

B - when added to liquid oils it creates blooming bath foam.

So my question is, why would you add it to oils if it won't dissolve on it's own? Wouldn't you have to use another emulsifier to keep it all together? What uses does polysorbate-80 have in bath products?

I've used it in bath bombs with no issues.

I haven't used it but this article on Swift's blog about polysorbates may be helpful for you.

So it's good in bombs. What else is it good for?

I've used it in bath bombs, bath oils, bath truffles...essentially anything with oil that I want to disperse in water.
