Question

Can `Polysorbate 20` be used to emulsify `Mild Preserved Eco` to create a liquid lotion texture? If so, what is the appropriate ratio?

Answer

Mixing Mild Preserved Eco and Polysorbate 20

Based on the properties of the ingredients, Mild Preserved Eco cannot be emulsified by Polysorbate 20.

  • Mild Preserved Eco is a blend of Ethylhexylglycerin and 1,3 Propanediol. It functions as a preservative and humectant.
  • Polysorbate 20 is an emulsifier primarily used to help mix oils with water.

Since Mild Preserved Eco is not an oil, Polysorbate 20 is not suitable for emulsifying it. Therefore, there is no specific ratio for mixing these two ingredients for the purpose of creating an emulsion or achieving a liquid lotion texture through this method. To create a liquid lotion texture, you would need to use appropriate emulsifiers and formulation techniques designed for the specific ingredients in your formula.
