SOLUBILIZERS – Dissolve Solubilizing Issues in Aqueous Based Formulations
The proper incorporation of oil-soluble actives or botanicals is key for their performance. Achieving a clear formulation can become a challenge when formulating aqueous or hydroalcoholic products. Solubilization of fragrances in aqueous based cosmetic products is a prerequisite for a stable formulation. Symrise solubilizers are optimized blends of amphiphilic substances giving synergistic solubilizing efficacy. The development of these blends benefits from our in-house expertise in Actives, Botanicals, Sun Protection and Fragrances.
