Lori, the various polysorbs are NOT preservatives.... they are

emulsifiers/dispersants... to help oil dissolve in water....

I dont use it for that, it seems to 'set' a scent for me and the form I have has

biotin and niacin in it. I had seen a 'balding treatment' with herbs and poly 80

to unblock the folicles of the hair. I use it in my shampoo/shower gel with a

simple liquid glycerin base and I have to say, my hair is thicker than its ever

been. could be the fact I dont use sls, etc anymore or it could be both, what I

am using as opposed ot what I used to use. In fact, I think I will order the

panthenol. Good B vitamins are great for skin and hair.

 

I've used it in a body oil before and I like how that came out too.....
