What is Solubol?

Solubol is a plant-based emulsifier that helps essential oils mix better with water. Indispensable when making water-based DIY personal care products, such as a body spray, facial toner, or body lotion.

Solubol is a clear, odorless liquid made from vegetable glycerine, water, soy lecithin, coconut extract, vitamin C, citric acid, vitamin E, and rosemary extract.

Benefits

Mixes essential oils with water

Essential oils dissolve well in a carrier oil, but not in water. Therefore, if you want to mix oil with water, you always need an emulsifier, such as Solubol. This way, your essential oils won't float on top of your room spray or toner.

Natural

Many emulsifiers are synthetic, but Solubol consists entirely of natural ingredients. Furthermore, this emulsifier contains no alcohol or other preservatives, except antioxidants to protect the product from free radicals.

How do you use it?

When using Solubol, always use four times as many drops of it as the essential oil you want to dissolve. So, if you use 4 drops of Lemon Essential Oil, you mix it with 16 drops of Solubol and then add water.

Please note: Solubol is an O/W emulsifier. It dissolves oil droplets in water. This can be up to a maximum of 2%. This means that for 2% essential oil, you need to add 8% Solubol, and then you can add 90% water.

It is easiest to combine the essential oil with Solubol beforehand in a dropper bottle, so you don't have to mix the two every time. If the mixture is too thick for the dropper? Then add a little hydrosol, such as Witch Hazel or Chamomile Water.

Why is using Solubol important?

If essential oils do not mix well with other ingredients, such as water, they remain undiluted. Most essential oils cannot be used undiluted and are therefore always mixed with a carrier oil. In situations where you do not want to use a carrier oil and you do want to mix your essential oils with water or other liquid ingredients, Solubol is an ideal solution.
