- Function
GreenSolv™ 168 MB is the ultimate solution for solubilizing high levels of oils into emulsions and aqueous systems, transforming your cosmetic and personal care formulations. Its versatile nature makes it perfect for a wide range of products like water-based air fresheners, emulsion-based haircare, toners, and surfactant-based cleansing products. GreenSolv™ 168 MB has hydrophilic properties that provide a delightful feel on the skin and its effects are best observed at a 3:1 ratio of solubilizer to oil.
- Formulation Guidelines
- 3:1 ratio of solubilizer to oil works best in most cases
- Avoid strong cationic emulsifiers
- High glycerin levels can cloud formula
- Formulating Guidelines
pH Range: maximum. 8.0
Procedure: Pre-blend GreenSolv™ 168 MB with oils to be solubilized and add to water phase. Incorporate by mixing.
