Solubilizer

Polysorbate 20 is a gentle, nonionic solubilizer commonly used to blend essential oils, fragrances, and other oil-based ingredients into water-based formulations such as gels, washes, serums, and toners. By reducing oil molecules to a smaller size, it allows them to disperse evenly without causing cloudiness. This makes it especially valuable in creating clear cosmetic products with stable scent or active incorporation.

INCI: Polysorbate 20

Used to incorporate fragrance and oils into clear washes, gels and serums without  going cloudy. It essentially reduces oil molecules to a smaller size allowing it to disperse in the product. Typically mixing 1 part solubilizer with 1 part scent or oils,  is a good starting point. Some scent and oils require a higher ratio of solubilizer.

Usage: 0.5-3%. In a separate container, measure equal parts of scent/oil to solubilizer. Mix well and test the clarity adding a little bit to a glass of water.  Stir while adding and if it goes clear, it should work well in the gel.  If it is still cloudy, bump up the solubilizer ratio.
