Natural substitutes for Symbiosolv, Olivem 2090, and Sapogel/Sucragel

For your skincare formulation, here are the recommended functional and natural substitutes available at MySkinRecipes for the ingredients you mentioned:

1. Substitute for Symbiosolv clear plus MB

• Free Solve™ (PEG-Free Solubilizer): This is a high-performance, PEG-free solubilizer. While Symbiosolv is a natural blend, Free Solve™ serves the same function by effectively dissolving oils, essential oils, and fragrances into water-based formulas while maintaining excellent clarity and being gentle on the skin.

2. Substitute for Olivem 2090

• Water-in-Oil Max™: This is a high-performance emulsifier specifically designed for Water-in-Oil (W/O) systems. It is an excellent substitute for Olivem 2090, especially when creating stable emulsions with high water content and a light skin feel.
• Oil Blender™ (Polyglyceryl-3 Diisostearate): Another option for W/O emulsions, this ingredient is naturally derived and helps create stable, rich textures.

3. Substitute for Sapogel Q or Sucragel AOF Bio

• Sugar Gel (creates oil gel texture / Oil Gellant): This is a direct functional substitute made from 100% natural sugar (Sucrose Stearate). Like Sapogel and Sucragel, it is used to create clear oil gels and "oil-to-milk" cleansers that emulsify upon contact with water. It is edible and very gentle, making it suitable even for lip products.

These ingredients will allow you to achieve similar textures and performance in your natural skincare formulations.
