"great emulsifier "
COMMENTS: This product is very easy and straightforward to use.The formula is clear and odorless, and I have not found that I need to make special adjustments to my products when using this. I use for my facial spritz which combine aloe with essential oil. Using this eliminates the need to shake the product before using, giving a more professional result. This does make my product cloudy, which is not an issue for me.

COMMENTS: This product was true to it's description. A little does go a long way. Mixed well with a fork, stirring slowly as to not get air into the shampoo or body wash. Highly recommend. Will purchase again.

"As a 1st Time user..."
COMMENTS: As a 1st time user of this product, I must say, I enjoyed the results of the products I incorporated it into; room sprays, lotions and CP & CPOP soap. The scent (FO &/or EO) really seemed 'fixed" into the products. Even after three weeks of use in my cp & cpop soaps, the scents still remain. Thanks for a reasonably priced product that does the job of binding scents into products.
COMMENTS: I adore this product!! I don't mind the cloudiness at times
from some of the FOs !! This is a main staple for me!

COMMENTS: This product is great when creating body splashes or any product with lots water added. It dissolves the oil so it can mix into the water without your product's fragrant oil floating in the product. I use it in my bubble baths, shower gels and hand soap. its also very econimical to use because you use so little of this product..just add equal amount of polysorbate and fragrant oil..wonderful product.
