Solubilizers
Solubilizers are used to solubilize oils into water so that cosmetics can be mixed and incorporated into water. Solubilizers are usually a surfactant or blend of surfactant with a high hydrophilic/lipophilic balance.
Solubilizers and Fragrances
Solubilizers are widely used in cosmetic and personal care products that assists in incorporating hydrophobic substances such as essential oils or fragrance oils into aqueous formulations. They play an important role in keeping the final consumer product clear and preventing separation over time.
Solubilizers in Cleansers
Solubilizers that are used in facial cleansers play a different role. Cleansers are made up of micelles that are small particles of surfactant suspended in water. Micelles are attracted to dirt and oil, so they are able to draw out impurities. The surfactant present in the cleanser product has to be soft and non-irritant for the skin while keep efficiency in makeup removal.
Solubilisant LRI
Solubilisant LRI is widely considered the Gold Standard of solubilizers and is used in applications where either the essential oil or other non-polar ingredient(s) is difficult to incorporate without the final product appearing hazy. Solubilisant LRI is also used in applications where formulators are looking to minimize or eliminate the use of alcohols, which can dry the skin.
