Solubilizer

Important Note:  If you would prefer to continue to purchase the existing formulation, with the understanding that this is not 100% natural, we will continue to sell our original SOLUBILIZER as is under the existing product codes.

As the saying goes, oil and water do not mix. No matter how well you shake, stir or blend a water-based preparation, you will find the oils will “fall-out” or separate from the base. Auroma’s Essential Oil Solubiliser can be used to help carry oils into a water-based product.

Solubiliser is like a soap however, it has a neutral pH. Auroma’s essential oil Solubiliser works similarly to Turkey Red oil but is colourless, odourless and stronger. All oils have different solubility levels. You will need to test the quantities of Solubiliser required for each essential oil, or each blend of oils that you are working with. In small proportions for Solubiliser to oil, you may create an emulsion of oil in water, this will appear cloudy, and subsequently make your blends or waters appear cloudy. In larger proportions ie. 3-5 times Solubiliser to oil, you may create a clear solution. So, the oils work at different minimum proportions, some may not work at all, it is best to test first whether the Solubiliser will work in your particular application.

Directions: Mix essential oil and Solubiliser together using 3-5 times the amount of Solubiliser to oil. Make sure oil is thoroughly mixed, add this mixture to the water phase with stirring. A clear solution should result. If not, try again with more Solubiliser or add alcohol (if compatible with your formulation) to the Solubiliser. Propylene Glycol or Glycerin may also help.

Note: Solution in water may foam, but will quickly settle.
