Sorbeth-230 tetraoleate is a mixture of the fatty acid oleic acid with derivatives of the sugar ingredient sorbitol and other substances to create a synthetic ingredient that cleanses, emulsifies, and can help thicken cosmetic formulas.
Sorbeth-230 is among the newer cleansing agents created in response to the sulfate-free push, and it’s a welcome addition due to its mildness and generally non-irritating nature—at least according to the claims made by the company selling this ingredient.
