“Turkey Red Oil” (sulfated castor oil – the first synthetic detergent) is one older product that has been used for creating essential oil emulsions. Essential Solubiliser is a modern improvement on Turkey Red Oil, colourless, odourless and is a more effective emulsifier. Essential Solubiliser is based on mild emulsifiers derived from pure Almond and Coconut oils. These emulsifiers are nontoxic, non-allergenic and fully compatible with the skin. Such emulsifiers are the basis for a number of natural cosmetic products, such as essential oil-based “skin conditioning” sprays.
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.
