Product Description

All our oils are fresh and bottled daily. Expiration date is at least 12 month from sale date Organic Ingredients: Polysorbate 80 Botanical Name: Polysorbate 80 Color: Yellow to brownish viscous oily liquid Aromatic Description: Characteristic mild odor Description Polysorbate 80: This is a common fragrance and essential oil solublizer as well as an emulsifying agent. It is soluble in water and alcohol and insoluble in oils. It is typically a co-emulsifier that is used both as a viscosity modifier and a dispersing agent for fragrances and essential oils for room sprays and linen sprays. In lotions, it works best for oil in water emulsions and is helpful for foaming or whipping body creams. When combined with liquid oils, Polysorbate 80 creates a blooming bath oil. It can also be used in a self-emulsifying sugar or salt scrub. Finally, in bath bombs, you can add up to 6% as a wetting agent (rather than a traditional witch hazel or liquid oil) to help prolong fizzing in the tub. Usage rate is from 1-5% as a co-emulsifier in lotions and up to 50% for a dispersing bath oil or fragrance/essential oil carrier. Polysorbate 80 is used as a cleanser, an emulsifier and a surfectant in products ranging from pharmaceuticals to vitamins, cosmetics to foods. Emulsifiers simply keep oils from separating from liquids, while surfectants reduce the surface tension of liquids, helping them achieve smooth, even coverage. Mayonnaise, for example, contains Polysorbate 80. Incidentally, mayonnaise has long been a very popular hair treatment and conditioner, and my scalp tonic has far less Polysorbate 80 than even mayonnaise does! This is sold BY WEIGHT, not volume. You have exactly 8 oz, which is not equal to 8 FL OZ: Polysorbate is heavy, so the bottle will not be full. You can check the weight with scales, not with a measure cup.
