The safety of Polysorbate 60 has been evaluated by organizations such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). It is permitted for direct addition to food as an adjuvant of flavoring agents and as a multipurpose additive. In cosmetics, it is recognized as safe for use by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel. Its low toxicity profile and good tolerability in human use have led to its broad acceptance across industries.
For pharmaceutical applications, Polysorbate 60 is utilized as an excipient and is generally recognized as safe. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives has established acceptable daily intake levels for polysorbates, ensuring their safe consumption within recommended limits. The polysorbate 60 safety profile is a key reason for its widespread adoption.
While Polysorbate 60 is considered safe, like all chemical substances, appropriate handling practices should be followed. Manufacturers are advised to adhere to recommended usage levels in formulations to avoid potential irritation in sensitive individuals.
