Guest guest Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 Dear all, I created a baby line for a client and one of the products is a room/air mist. I have used 1-2 drops of an e-solve emulsifier in it to bind the water with the oil, only to find out hat it is not a natural ingredient and I do not want to use it for the baby line and also for other products. Does any of you know of a completely natural emulsifier, preferably organic and where can I find it? Also what other ingredients are necessary in an air mist, like alcohol, tocopherol (vit. E) and what amounts, to be safe in the organic market? Here in Germany they are very strict with the ingredients. Thank you for any advice, much appreciated.

Emulsify is not something that nature really does or has a need for. Some people use borax and beeswax, but that is not really safe or stable. There are several that are Ecocertified though, some containing cetearyl alcohol. I've been playing with some of them and they are very nice but take a little work to work out a formula. sagescript http://www.sagescript.com http://sagescript.blogspot.com http://www.facebook.dj/sagescriptinstitute > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like , I found that it's taking some work to get the proportions right. It also leaves the solution cloudy. Elise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you , Do you have any names that you recommend or know where to buy from or are you making your own formulas for emulsifiers?
