Essential Oil Solubilizers: Creating Effective Water-Based Sprays
Creating aromatic room sprays, linen sprays, and shower spa mists with essential oils presents a common challenge: water and oil don’t naturally mix. Without proper solubilization, essential oils will separate and float to the top of water-based formulations, resulting in uneven distribution, potential irritation when concentrated oil contacts skin, and inconsistent fragrance experience. Solubilizers are specialized ingredients that help essential oils disperse evenly throughout water-based solutions, creating stable and effective aromatic sprays for your home and personal care.
What is a Solubilizer?
A solubilizer is an ingredient that helps disperse oils into water by forming micelles (tiny droplets) that encapsulate the oil molecules, allowing them to distribute evenly throughout the water base. This creates a clear, stable solution without the need for shaking before use.
