Can I use Sorbitan Olivate with Sorbitan Palmitate?
Works well together
Sorbitan Olivate and Sorbitan Palmitate are generally compatible and can be layered in the same routine. As always, introduce one new active at a time and watch how your skin responds.
Sorbitan PalmitateEmollient
- ✓Sorbitan ester of palmitic acid (also known as Span 40) — a lipophilic emulsifier with a low HLB value that stabilizes water-in-oil emulsions and contributes a smooth, conditioned skin feel
- ✓More gentle and less comedogenic than older-generation sorbitan esters (e.g., Sorbitan Monostearate); the palmitate chain provides a soft, skin-conditioning character
- ✓Often used as a co-emulsifier alongside polysorbate-type (PEG-sorbitan) emulsifiers to balance the HLB of the emulsion system
