How to use essential oils in an aqueous solution . . .
Hello, all.
I am able to easily add/solubolize essential oils into pure ethanol, but then how do I then go about adding that preparation into a water phase (assuming I am making a toner, as an example)? I am trying to avoid using an additional solubolizer, like one of the polysorbates. I has assumed it was possible to simply combine this ethanol-based preparation with water, but perhaps not?
Thank you.

Thank you. Is this to say I have to use an additional solubilizer of some sort?

I have used dowanol DPM to solubilize EOs in water, I guess u could try other glycols. Or homogenization can solubilize oils in water too.
