Application	1. Emulsifier: Sorbitan Monooleate is commonly used as an emulsifier in food and skincare products. 2. Surfactant: It acts as a surfactant, which means it lowers the surface tension between two substances, allowing them to mix together. 3. Stabilizer: This ingredient helps to stabilize emulsions and prevent separation of oil and water-based ingredients. 4. Thickener: Sorbitan Monooleate is used as a thickener in some personal care products such as shampoos and conditioners. 5. Solubilizer: It can help to dissolve oils and other hydrophobic ingredients in water-based formulations, making it easier to create homogeneous products. 6. Anti-foaming agent: It is also used as an anti-foaming agent to prevent excessive foaming in food and cosmetic products. 7. Mold release agent: In the plastic and rubber industry, Sorbitan Monooleate is used as a mold release agent, preventing substances from sticking to molds.
