  • Natural Herbal Mouthwash, How to make it clear?

    Posted by Kimjiwon on January 24, 2020 at 1:36 am

    Hello! I am developing a mouthwash with herbal plant called “tsaang gubat” or “carmona retusa”. Studies shown that tsaang gubat plant has a high fluoride content. I used maceration process to extract the plants. The problem is when I put the active “tsaang gubat” in mouthwash it becomes hazy because of the plant extract. For the first day its just like yellow clear liquid but the following day it become hazy and and not clear. What to do with the extract? Can someone help me?

    Add some emulsifier or alcohol so it’s fully emulsified or dissolved.

    Thanks @Gunther for your advice. Can you recommend an emulsifier which is best and food grade.
