Hi all, I have tried the Polysuga Muls, as well as Symbiosolv, I think I hvae tried it all now! Nothing seems to dissolve the EOs fully, so there is always a film at the top. I am going back to make another sample today with less of the EOs, I think a total of 4.5, and then re-asses the efficacy of the above solubilisers

Thank you for your suggestions, and I agree that 7% seems very high. I will check the IFRA guidelines. If the concentration is excessive, we can look at dropping the EO content down. Unfortunately the formula needs to be PEG free.

I should clear up my post….Its 7% essential oils in the formula and 7% polysorbate 20, which I know is the incorrect ratio, but find any higher % of the polysorbate its going to be sticky

Well I’m glad I’m not the only one with a chaotic lab book! I think I will just have to set up a spreadsheet simply for record keeping.
