Body oil emulsion
I have a client looking to use 5% epsom salt in a body oil. looking for an emulsifier that would work with a large oil phase 55%-60%. open to both o/w and w/o emulsifiers as long as i can get a stable emulsion that absorbs fairly quickly.

Ive never heard of salt in body oil, the only thing I can think of is mixing water with the salt and using a solubalizer

If you made a water/oil emulsion with olivem 900 or similar, the epsom salts can be included. But that would look and feel like a cream, not a body oil.

Ask your client if they’d be open to having two products instead of one. If you have a high enough amount of magnesium sulfate, you can call your product “magnesium oil”. We have a product that is 60/40 magnesium/water, it has a slippery oily feel and people claim it helps their aches and pains.

or if you still want a clear product you can do a magnesium oil and add body oil to it. Similar to micellar water where the particles are suspended or use a solubalizer which keeps the product clear
