Description:

Polysorbate 20 is a non-ionic surfactant that acts as a gentle, non irritating solubilizer. It is used to solubilize oils in water and can be used in body or room sprays, creams, lotions and other formulations. It is highly recommended for solubilizing essential oils as it preserves the integrity and properties of the oil. While polysorbate 20 is one of the gentlest polysorbate solubilizer, it is not the most effective solubilizer. Some separation in toners, mists, linen sprays and water soluble bath oils is common. These products quickly re-emulsify when shaken.

To make sprays, start by mixing equal amounts of Polysorbate 20 to fragrance or essential oil (1:1). Let the mixture rest. If it is not clear, you can try adding a little more polysorbate 20. Adding vodka to the solution will also help clear it up. Add your fragrance solution to your water. Then add your vodka and shake. Vodka will help to clarify the solution and can help to preserve the product. However you should always test products to ensure they are free from microbial activity.

Polysorbate 20 is great to use as a solubilizer for body sprays, room sprays, linen sprays and dispersing bath oils.

Comments: Works beautifully. My hair detangler works like it should now that I have added the polysorbate 20. It keeps the oils blended properly. I love it.
