    Is there any ecocert app. emulsifyer to emulsify 2% oil in a hydrolate mist spray? Clear color (of the emulsified hydrolate) is best option

    Your question isn’t detailed enough to give a good answer.  What oil?

    I have never tried it but yesterday I came across Sophogreen (INCI name:Water (and) Glucose (and) Rapeseed Acid) that is reported to be an Ecocert approved plant based solubiliser. It claims to be better than PEG 40 Hydrogenated castor oil. It might be suitable for your application.

     2% oil in water- depending on the oil won’t this be very difficult to achieve a clear final product? You’d have to make a microemulsion or maybe encapsulate with cyclodextrin (depending on oil) if you can’t solubilize like normal. Think you’d also need and extremely high shear mixer.

    Also since when is Peg 40 ecocert approved..?

    Polysugamulse D9 is ecocert compliant, it’s also grossly sticky at high concentrations and will need  roughly ~4x the amount compared to oil.
