    I would:

    1. Try solubilize essential oils in CC glucoside and/or Plantspon SF, and remove Poly Suga Mulse (avoid mixing xanthan and crosspolymes), give this premix some time if needed

    2. If step 1. doesn’t work (solubilisation) - maybe reduce essential oils? Or Plantapon.

    3. Try a different order of ingredients. Do you add xanthan at the begining or end? I noticed that sometimes it matter when you add citric acid

    4. Try different xanthan gum… Same INCI, different effect, especially with cloudiness

    Propanediol and other glycols also could work, but the gum will sediment over time
