Help with combining Vegetable glycerine and Oil without seperating
Hello all! Thanks in advance for your feedback. Does anyone know what emulsifier to use when combining High Oleic Safflower oil and Vegetable Glycerin without them separating. I want to use 2oz of oil and 2oz of glycerin. If I need to use less glycerin, I am open to that at well. I’m using it for one of my hair products that will be applied to the scalp. I was told to use polysorbate 20 but after speaking with someone that knows a bit about formulating he stated that Poly was not the right one to use. He was not sure what to use and recommended that I come here. Your help and feedback would greatly appreciated! Thank you

Polyglyceryl esters of fatty acids will do this task. E.g. Polyglyceryl-6 oleate, polyglcyeryl-6 laurate, polyglyceryl-10 laurate, etc.

Thanks Matt so much for your reply. I really need some assistance with formulating these ingredients. Are you willing and able to assist me with this. Please. I have no idea how to mix that ingredient you mentioned. Is there a way we can speak over the phone? Also is that ingredient you mentioned safe to use on the scalp/skin? Can it be purchased here in the US? I was also told that some ingredients are banned from the US. Your help and assistance will be greatly appreciated!
