Solubilizer for Vegan/Cruelty Free Oral Health Product
Hi there, I am new here
. I am based in the UK and make Vegan/Cruelty Free Oral Health Products. I am looking for a suitable product to use to bind essential oils and water. So far I have tried sunflower lecithin (its too brown) and also Guar Gum. Any suggestions welcome. I am making a minty mineral rinse. Many thanks -

Sunflower solubilizer? It is a light yellow color. It’s used for cosmetics so I’m not 100% sure if it should be used in the mouth.

Most are vegan and cruelty free, especially the synthetic ones

try PEG-40 hydrogenated castor oil or polysorbate 20 (pharmaceutical grade)

Thank you all, we are trying to achieve a clear (slightly cloudy) product. Sunflower made it brownish.

Try Natural solubilizer Clear plus by Dr Straetman it’s PEG-free and gluten free , Solubol could work too depending of the essential oil I know the solution is clear using rosemary EO although it gets milky with some others, you will need to experiment with mint to find the right ratio, the seller recommends 1:4 (EO/solubol) but from experience I read you’d need to add more for a clear product.

I used this for Propolis in 1:1 ratio for a propolis mouthwash, seems to work pretty well at keeping propolis in solution without resins precipitating.
