Query on use of sorbitan trioleate in massage oil recipe
I’m a bit perplexed why sorbitan trioleate would be used in a massage oil recipe(see below) . My understanding is that it is a surfactant. My only thought was to deal with oily sheets and towels for easier washing. Or, used to disperse the carrier oils into bath water.Any further thoughts?Glycine soja (Soya Bean) oil , Prunus amygdalus dulcis (Sweet almond) oil, Sorbitan trioleate, Lavandula angustifolia (Lavender) oil, Triticum aestivum germ (Wheat Germ) oil, Simmondsia chinensis seed (Jojoba) oil, Rosa eglanteria seed (Rosehip) oil, Tocopherol, Citrus aurantium bergamia fruit (Bergamot) oil, Pelargonium graveolens (Geranium) oil, Salvia sclarea (Clary Sage) oil, Salvia officinalis (Sage) oil, Jasminum officinale flower extract (Jasmine Absolute), Ascorbyl palmitate, *Linalool, *Limonene, *Citronellol, *Geraniol. *Natural component of essential oil ingredients.Thanks.

could make it easier to wash off?it’d make the product ‘bloom’ (i.e. form a turbid dispersion) in water rather than just float to the top -
I’d use it to stabilize the mix. Considering you have more than 10 oils it wouldn’t be rare to see separation under different conditions.
