dispersant

[Guest guest]

I am trying to find a product that is as natural as possible to disperse

essential oils in water. I thought I remember reading about one on this

list. I need to stay away from alcohol.

Isn't sulphurated castor good for this? The " tuekey red " it's supposed to

be water dispersible.

I think I purchased :

Dipropylene Glycol, Fragrance Grade (DPGF) from Snowdrift farms:

But I do have a bottle that says it is diisopropyl glycerol. I hope you get

a more informed answer.

It is not natural I don't think but it does work.

And I already replied in a separate post that I use Turkey Red oil, a

sulphurated castor oil that's water dispersible. You can also add

polysorbate 20 to make any oil water dispersible.

Hi Joni,

 

Hmmm, a natural AND alcohol free oil/water dispersant ... that is a

toughie!

 

I saw that Leanne mentioned Sulfonated Castor Oil (a.k.a. Turkey Red

Oil). While it is a water soluble oil, it also has a distinct odor of

its own, so keep that in mind if you decide to use it.

 

Polysorbate 20 is a common chemical (not natural) that is used to

disperse oils in water for things such as linen sprays.

 

Good luck, please let us know what you end up going with!
