  Solubilizer: Soap Vs Caprylyl Glycol

  Posted by Alex777 on December 7, 2020 at 3:17 pm

  Thank you for reading this post. 

  We need a solubilizer for essential oils in a water solution. 

  We want to be as natural as possible. 

  Concentration of Essential Oils in solution: 2%

  Question: Can soap be used as a solubilizer in this case? If yes, in what percentage? 

  If not, at what percentage would caprylyl glycol need to be used to solubilize the essential oils in solution? 

  Thank you in advance!

  It’s possible that potassium cocoate could dissolve it. You would not want to apply that to the skin, though.
