Emulsifing water and oil in a toner
Hi
I’m formulating a toner and wanted to add some caprylic/capric triglyceride into the hydrosol mix. I saw these ingredients in a product and wondered how they were getting the oil and water to mix. Could it be a case of just shaking the bottle before use?
pure water (aqua),
hamamelis virginiana
argentum metallicum
jasmine (jasmine) grandiflorum absolute
caprylic/capric triglyceride
jasminum officinale (jasmine) extract
rosa damascena (rose) oil
cananga odorata (ylang-ylang) oiltheobroma cacao (cocoa) oil
Thanks.

where did you find that, Etsy? No emulsifier system and where is the preservative? Hopeless.

No, it’s a brand known by a lot of people and sold in reputable places.
So it seems that I’m not missing something and that an emulsifier is needed. I’ve already got the preservative covered.
Thanks.

Just by the fact that they are using and endorsing Silver (argentum metallicum) makes me a little bit leary. Again, I share Belassi’s opinion that it is a poor Formulation. That silver will aggregate with other materials and its efficacy is not what it promises. This is the reason it is used at Homeopathic (ridiculously low) concentrations. Hopeless really said it all.
Also if they are endorsing a “Shake Well” warning, this is an issue as well. These warnings have poor compliance and as such the client will likely get inconsistent levels of the raw materials from dose to dose,
