- Applications
- GreenSolv™ 168 allows for the solubilization of high levels of oils into emulsions and aqueous systems. It can be especially useful for hard-to-solubilize fragrances. It can be used in a wide range of cosmetic and personal care formulations including; water-based air fresheners, emulsion-based haircare, toners, and surfactant based cleansing products. GreenSolv™ 168 was specifically designed and proven to solubilize natural essential oils, especially more difficult citrus base oils, into emulsions and aqueous systems
- Applications inlude Fragrances, Oils, Toners, & Conditioners

Technical Details & Test Data
- Solubilization Power
You can achieve solubilization using GreenSolv™ 168 at various ratios of solubilizer to oil. It is important to note that every formulation can be different. We recommend that you experiment to find the ideal ratio for your formulation. In many cases, a 3:1 ratio of solubilizer to oil can will provide excellent solubilization, but we do recommend considering a range from 1:1 to 5:1 depending on how challenging the oil is to solubilize.
- Formulating Guidelines
Pre-blend GreenSolv 168 with oils to be solubilized and add to water phase. Incorporate by mixing
Tips:
- Avoid Strong Cationic Emulsifers
- Best at pH < 8.0
- High Glycerin Levels Can Cloud Formula
- Best to Add Alcohol After Solubilization
