Nautica Symbio®Solv Clear Plus

Ideal for use in transparent cosmetic products (including alcohol based and non-alcohol based).

• 100% naturally derived
• Certified cosmetic grade
• Wheat free and PEG free
• Can be formulated in a cold process, without or with small amounts of alcohol
• Easy to handle and yields transparent aqueous solutions
• Not compatible with vegetable oils and cationic substances.

Keep in mind that solubilisers are a form of surfactants so some foam will appear when stirred or shaken. Foam does disappear overnight.

For a transparent aqueous solution: 1:3 -1:5 (oil : solubiliser), max usage 4-5%.

For surfactants: 0.5% - 1.5%

Pre-mix Symbio®Solv Clear Plus with essential oils or other lipophilic substance to be solubilised at room temperature. Add water, the aqueous phase, or the surfactant base to the pre-mix, stirring gently. Solution should go from milky to clear. Adjust pH to 4.5 - 6.5 if necessary.

The solubility ratio will be different for every essential oil, so you may need to do some experimentation to find the correct amount of oil to solubiliser for the specific oil you are using.
