Guest guest Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 Isn't sulphurated castor good for this? The " tuekey red " it's supposed to be water dispersible.

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 I think I purchased : Dipropylene Glycol, Fragrance Grade (DPGF) from Snowdrift farms: _http://www.snowdriftfarm.com/albalotion.html_ (http://www.snowdriftfarm.com/albalotion.html) But I do have a bottle that says it is diisopropyl glycerol. I hope you get a more informed answer. Jan It is not natural I don't think but it does work. ..

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 so what do you use? jan In a message dated 8/4/2006 7:04:40 AM Pacific Standard Time, patchouly writes: wasn't me that was asking for this..check the thread..I already know what Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 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.

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 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! *Smile* Chris (list mom) http://www.alittleolfactory.com Joni 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
