Polysorbate 80 Solubilizer

Description Polysorbate 80 Solubilizer As the saying goes, oil and water do not mix. No matter how much you shake, stir, or blend a water-based preparation, oils will inevitably separate from the base. Polysorbate 80 Solubilizer is a common fragrance emulsifier that allows you to add fragrance oils to water base products such as our Hydrating Botanical Mist, Conditioning Detangling Spray and Pure Fresh formulations.THE ISSUEYou have a water-based preparation such as a water-based hair treatment, a body spray, or a room spray and you want to add an oil-based fragrance. You will find that without a solubilizer the fragrance will just float on top of the water-based formula.The Solution is to use a solubilizer like Polysorbate 80.Both Polysorbate 20 and Polysorbate 80 are surfactants/emulsifiers used in the cosmetic industryThe number after Polysorbate is not a reference to its potency or strength. The number is assigned to differentiate its fat dissolving ability.Polysorbate 80 is typically used to emulsify heavier, more complicated fats, such as natural oils: (argan, almond, olive, etc.) It can also be used as a thickener. Polysorbate 80 can be used to emulsify large amounts of fragrance in a product if Polysorbate 20 is not achieving the desired result, but it’s not guaranteed to work with every fragrance. It is a bit more finicky. Usage Add the Solubilizer with your fragrance at up to 4:1 Ratio (start with a 2oz Solubilizer to 1oz Fragrance ratio)Pour the Solubilizer/Fragrance mixture into your water-based preparation.Mix  Additional Notes Essentials By Catalina is not responsible for product compatibility.
