Fragrance Oil “Clouds” clear handwash
Hi All,
Any advice would be appreciated. We have a handwash base, which we fragrance with different fragrance oils. We find that 80% of the oils have no effect on the clarity of the product. About 15% of the oils will make our product cloudy from when we add the fragrance oils, and about 5% will cloud, clear and then go cloudy again. Any advise on how to remedy this would be appreciated.
Thank you
Our ingredient list is as follows:
INCI: Aqua, Sodium Lauryl Sulphate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Glycerin, Sodium Chloride, Disodium EDTA, Magnesium Nitrate, Methylchloroisothiazolinone, Magnesium Chloride, Methylisothiazolinone

That has to do with the solubility of your fragrances. Chances are that the 80% of your fragrances (the ones that don’t make your product turbid) have a solubilizer or mixture of them. So, if possible, ask your supplier to send versiones of the problematic fragrances, that are more soluble in your base. If that’s not possible, then add a solubilizer (or mixture). Usually, a 2:1 up to 4:1 dose of solubilizer/fragrance is required, but ever 1:1 could work with not so heavy fragrances.
