Natural emulsifier for body spray?

[Guest]

I haven't had any luck finding this info on the interwebs. I'm looking for a natural emulsifier that will keep the FO and water from separating in the bottle.

Ideas?

I use poly 20.

Can extra poly 20 be added to emulsify added oils (like jojoba) as well as FO? Keeping the 1:1 ratio?

may i suggest a totally water soluable macadamia nut oil PEG-16- then you don't need an emulsifier for the oil part-but i believe you need polysorbate 20 still for the f/o.

www.suppliesbystar.com look in the equipment section with the bath tablet maker.

I was just going to post about body sprays Daniel!

I don't mean to hijack but rather than post another topic since we're on the subject...

What does everyone else suggest for using as a base for body spray and room spray? I just ordered some supplies for this and have seen various "recipes".

I've seen some made with just fragrance and witch hazel, some made with water, fragrance, and polysorbate, some with cyclomethicone and fragrance.... what works the best? I have the ingredients for all coming so that I can experiment.

I was thinking about using a recipe of distilled water, fragrance, witch hazel and I guess poly 20 as an emulsifier, I also wanted to add some water soluble macademia oil as heartsong suggested, for a hydrating effect.

I've seen a lot of recipes using vodka or everclear instead of water.... seems drying to me...
