Can you please suggest, how to solubilize water soluble extract in body oil?
Percentage of water soluble extract is 1% and base content 98% of oils. Also I want end product transparent.

Use high refractory index protic solvens or suspend micronised extracts or extract impregnated silica. -

@Pharma can you please suggest one example for it which is suitable skin and hair care product…thank you

@kajalthakur What you’re looking for is called a book… 😉

Why go through all the trouble of trying to introduce an ingredient at 1% that is completely incompatible with the base of your formula? Try to find that extract in an oil base or delete it from your formula. If it is a water-soluble extract that 1% would equate to 98% water and 2% extract … so when you factor it into the full formula the amount of extract you have will be 0.002% which is virtually nothing.

@MarkBroussard . Yes you are right but if it happen when we have to add water soluble extract in oil soo what to do??
-
Simply don’t add it. You’re creating a problem for yourself with no added benefit. Like I said, you are simply adding 98% water or water/glycerin to end with with 0.002% extract in your product. The extract won’t do anything, so find a different oil-solulble marketing ingredient.

She proposes PGPR… urks… great in food technology but for cosmetics, there are certainly better options out there (maybe not cheaper ones, though).And you might still face the issue of matching optical densities in order to obtain a transparent emulsion (= go with a glycerin/polyol based extract).

@MarkBroussard thanks for your support.
-
@Pharma yes it is a huge problem of matching optical density .I will go through it as you suggest .Thank you

Polyglyceryl-10 Pentaisostearate
If you google the name you’ll see it is an emulsifier.
