Polysorbate 20 (solubiliser)

Polysorbate 20 – The Perfect Oil-in-Water Emulsifier

Polysorbate 20 is a mild, non-ionic surfactant derived from vegetables, ideal for dispersing and emulsifying oils in water-based formulations. Whether you’re crafting linen sprays, room scenters, or body and facial mists, this versatile ingredient ensures that oils remain suspended, preventing separation and delivering a consistent product.

Key Benefits

• Effective Emulsification: Keeps oils evenly distributed in water for stable, non-separating formulations.
• Versatile Applications: Perfect for sprays, mists, and other oil-in-water products.
• Mild and Non-Irritating: Gentle enough for use in body and facial care products.

How to Use Polysorbate 20

To create a clear, stable product:

1. Mix twice as much Polysorbate 20 as essential or fragrance oil and combine thoroughly.
2. Gradually add distilled water to the mixture.
3. If the solution remains cloudy, increase the Polysorbate 20 ratio in future attempts (up to 5-10 times the scent amount).
4. Ensure Polysorbate 20 does not exceed 5% of the total formulation.

Note: Clarity and stability may vary depending on the oils and scents used.
