When should you use Disper or Essential Solubiliser? It is partly a matter of personal preference. Disper is most suited for application to mucous membranes (preparations for eye and throat complaints can be made with Disper, for example). It is a totally natural emulsifier made from soy lecithin that specifically works with essential oils. It makes a cloudy emulsion that can be of use in any type of application. Essential Solubiliser is a naturally-derived emulsifier that is quite benign & non-toxic and is used in numerous products with a natural stance. Essential Solubiliser works both with vegetable oils and essential oils. Using just essential oils, you can create a totally clear solution. Essential Solubiliser stands out more for its use in creating bath treatments, spray preparations and the like - but it is not recommended for use in the eyes nor for ingestion. To use, mix 10 drops (or parts) of Disper to each drop (or part) of essential oil used. Always mix essential oil and Disper together first, before adding to water. When added to water, a milky emulsion forms that remains stable over time.

It is suitable for all types of cleansing needs – baths, showers and on – and is suitable for all skin types and ages. Castile Soap also serves as an excellent shampoo. Just remember to use a slightly acid rinse after shampooing, as any minerals in ‘hard’ tap water can leave a slight soap film on the hair after rinsing. A teaspoon or more of vinegar or lemon juice in 100mL of water makes an effective rinse. Add essential oils as desired.
