Solubilizer

A natural solubilizer that shows excellent solubilizing performance, a powerful PEG-free alternative designed to solubilize essential oils, fragrance oils and other lipophilic ingredients in aqueous based preparations.

BENEFITS

• 100% naturally derived
• shows a comparable performance to benchmark PEG solubilizers
• provides transparent solutions in certain combinations and dosages
• has the ability to bind water and leaves a pleasant skin feel without feeling sticky
• ideal for natural certified cosmetic concepts

USE RECOMMENDATIONS 

• cosmetic ingredient
• suitable for most fragrance oils and essential oils in aqueous formulations
• can be used in surfactant based products
• applications include toners, gels, micellar waters, wet wipe solutions, body washes, body sprays, hair mist, shampoos, shower gels, low surfactant cleansing formulations for skin and hair

FORMULATION GUIDE

• the optimal dosage depends on specific lipophilic component and it can not be predicted
• for aqueous solutions the recommended dosage is 1:3 – 1:5 (oil : solubilizer), up to 5% solubilizer
• for surfactant based preperations 0.5 - 1.5 %
• is strongly foaming if over dosed
• avoid overdose the solubilizer to prevent excessive and unnecessary foaming
• pre-mix the solubiliser with the essential oil or lipophilic substances, at room temperature;
• add water, the aqueous phase or the surfactant solution to the pre-mix under stirring; if required, add ethanol at the end of the formulation process, in small portions
• can tolerate max. 10% of ethanol
• incompatible with vegetable oils and cationic compounds
• optimal pH range 4.5 - 6.5
