Question
I want to dissolve fragrance in a water-based gel formulation. I tried using Tween 80, but it caused the gel to become cloudy. Is FloraSolve suitable for dissolving fragrance in water-based gels to achieve clarity?
Answer
Based on the information provided:
- Flora Solve is specifically developed by the manufacturer to dissolve fragrance in water-based formulas. It is designed to solve the problem of cloudiness and separation that can occur when adding fragrance to water-based products.
- Tween 80, based on your experience, did not prevent cloudiness when mixed with fragrance in a water-based gel.
Therefore, while both might function as solubilizers or emulsifiers in general, Flora Solve appears to be more effective and specifically suited for achieving clarity when dissolving fragrance in water formulas compared to Tween 80, based on the staff's explanation.
