Ploysorbate 80

Polysorbate 80 is made from reacting a sugar called sorbitol with fatty acids derived from vegtable souces. This is typically requires two different chemical reactions to arrive at Polysorbate 80.

Why we use Polysorbate 80 in Grandma's Approved bath bombs. It is an emulsifier which helps to disperse the oils and fragrance in the water. This helps to keep our bath bombs smell nicer longer. The ability to disperse ingredients also extends to the colorants. This keeps the colorants distributed in the water and helps prevent staining.
