Emulsifiers for Mixing Floral Water and Essential Oil

To mix essential oils with floral water and create a stable product like a spray or lotion, you need an emulsifier because oil and water naturally separate. You'll typically need an O/W (Oil-in-Water) emulsifier to disperse the essential oil evenly throughout the floral water.

Based on the available options, here are some emulsifiers suitable for creating an oil-in-water emulsion:

• Polyglyceryl-10 Stearate: This is a natural O/W emulsifier that helps create a good texture and is suitable for sensitive skin.
• Polyglyceryl-10 Palmitate: Another O/W emulsifier that can be used to bind oil and water phases.
• Sucrose Cream Maker™: A 100% natural-based, nonionic O/W emulsifier known for creating stable emulsions with a light, non-oily feel.
• Emulsifying Wax 1000: A common and effective O/W emulsifier (Cetearyl Alcohol (and) Ceteareth-20) used for making creams and lotions.

These emulsifiers are designed to help the oil and water phases combine and remain mixed. Always check the recommended usage rate and specific mixing instructions for the chosen emulsifier to achieve a stable formulation.
