Faqs
Q: Can OliveM 300 solubilise essential oils directly into plain water?
A: It can help disperse small amounts, but clarity depends on the essential oil type and percentage, so small trials are recommended.
Q: Will it make my spray completely clear every time?
A: Not always, because different fragrance materials behave differently, so the ratio may need adjusting for best clarity.
Q: Is OliveM 300 suitable for facial products?
A: Yes, it is commonly used in facial formulas when included at appropriate formulation levels and the finished product is patch tested.
