Although the Sorbitan esters, including Sorbitan Sesquioleate, are generally mild skin irritants but nonsensitizers, a study published in Dermatitis entitled "Sorbitan Sesquioleate, a Common Emulsifier in Topical Corticosteroids, Is an Important Contact Allergen" found that although Sorbitan Sesqiuoleate has been considered an uncommon allergen in the past, it is causing reactions in more patients than expected. In a test of 112 patients, ten had allergic reactions to this ingredient. Ultimately, the study concluded that Sorbitan Sesquioleate may be sensitizing when applied to dermatitic skin.
