  Milky white oil blend

  Posted by chemnc on February 19, 2018 at 12:57 am

  I have an oil blend that, for aesthetic reasons, I would like it to look milky white instead of clear/light yellow. I tried some low levels of butters but I always get separation. Any thoughts?

  Other than suspending something like TiO2, no.

  If OK, then a very little glycerin or any normal glycol with a solubilizer should give you some milky appearance.

  Triglyceride oils used there? If so, heat to 65C add a little GMS then cool slowly back down to RT.  If not, return to “GO”.

  Yes, I do have triglycerides, so GMS is a great idea to try. Just curious, what’s the interaction between triglycerides and GMS?  Thank you
