Depends on the ratio between water\pentylene glycol\oil. In commercial products I see they usually use polysorbate 20 for this in toners.

Thank you. I am trying to be an evil natural-ish formulator and avoid going down the polysorbate road, but let’s see what happens. It looks like I might have to do my own experimentation and report back my findings. ????
