Using Four-EO™ in Mouth Spray and Solubilizing Oils

Regarding the use of Four-EO™ in a mouth spray, we were unable to find specific information about this particular product in our database.

However, based on the name and typical ingredients used for reducing bad breath (often essential oils or oil-soluble compounds), it's likely that Four-EO™ is not directly soluble in water.

To incorporate oil-based ingredients into a water-based mouth spray, you will need to use a solubilizer or emulsifier. These ingredients help to disperse the oil evenly throughout the water phase, preventing separation.

Common solubilizers used in oral care and cosmetic formulations include:

• Polysorbates (e.g., Polysorbate 20, Polysorbate 80)
• PEG-Hydrogenated Castor Oils

The appropriate solubilizer and the amount needed will depend on the specific composition of Four-EO™ and the desired concentration in your final product. You would typically mix the Four-EO™ with the solubilizer first until clear, and then slowly add this mixture to the water phase while stirring.

Other typical ingredients in a mouth spray formulation may include:

• Water (the main solvent)
• Humectants (like Glycerin or Sorbitol) to provide a pleasant feel and prevent drying
• Sweeteners (if desired, e.g., Xylitol, Stevia Extract)
• Preservatives to prevent microbial growth
• Flavorings (in addition to Four-EO™)
• Potentially other active ingredients (e.g., antibacterial agents like Cetylpyridinium Chloride - CPC)

It is recommended to perform stability testing on your final formulation to ensure the ingredients remain properly dispersed over time.
