I’m trying to find out if it is safe. It sounds like polysorbate 20 is totally different than polysorbate 80 which causes infertality in females. (still researching) I’m getting ready for a new grandchild and want to make sure I have safe products. Any information will be appreciated. Thanks!

I have a baby shampoo that has polysorbate 20 siting right in front of me. It is from Nuskin, named e-poch “Hibiscus Hair and body wash.”

When my daughter was young and in the highchair I used Cetaphil gentle skin cleanser to wash gunk out of her hair. You can use it without water and just comb the gunk out and then it would dry like nothing was there and we’d be on our way. I took it with me everywhere. It was also a gentle way to clean a rashy bottom. We still use it all the time when we travel.

Cite or it didn’t happen. But I’m thinking that this argument doesn’t matter anyway, because I haven’t found a baby shampoo that even uses polysorbate 20.

Sophie,

Sorry, you are incorrect – having worked for ICI, who sell polysorbate 20 under the brand name Tween 20, I know there is evidence for its anaestheitc properties. All I could find ont he web was a quote within a shampoo formulation on the website: ” and Tween 20 is chosen for its anti-eye sting properties.” – let me know if you need the location to check, as it’s not a straightforward web address, but a pop-up.
