Spa Massage Oil that Turns Milky in Water

To create a spa massage oil that is clear and turns white like milk when it comes into contact with water, you will need a few basic components:

1. Base Oil(s): This is the main component of your massage oil. You can use various carrier oils suitable for massage, such as Sweet Almond Oil, Jojoba Oil, Fractionated Coconut Oil, or Mineral Oil. The choice of oil can affect the texture, absorption, and color of the final product.

2. Emulsifier: This is the key ingredient that allows the oil to mix with water and create the milky appearance. You need an oil-soluble emulsifier that can disperse effectively in water. Based on the previous discussion and product information, emulsifiers like Sucrose Stearate, Sucrose Palmitate, or Sucrose Cream Maker (which are types of sucrose esters) are suitable for this purpose. These emulsifiers help bridge the oil and water phases when the product is used, causing the oil to turn white and milky.

3. Fragrance/Essential Oil: To give your massage oil a pleasant scent, you can add fragrance oils or essential oils suitable for cosmetic use.

4. Optional Additives: You can include other oil-soluble ingredients like Vitamin E (as an antioxidant to help preserve the oils) or oil-soluble colorants if you want to achieve a specific color like the orange you mentioned.

Regarding your question about water, you do not add water to the oil mixture itself. The product is an oil-based formulation. The milky effect happens when this oil product is mixed with water during use (e.g., when rinsing off in the shower or adding to bathwater).

By combining a base oil with a suitable emulsifier, you can create a massage oil that provides nourishment and turns into a milky lotion-like consistency upon contact with water, similar to the "vitamin milk for skin nourishment" you experienced.
