How to distinguish whether essential oils are oil soluble or water-soluble?
Do you want to know if your essential oil is oil soluble or water-soluble? It's actually quite simple! Just drop a few drops of essential oil in the water and see if there is any oil floating on the surface. If there is oil floating on the water surface, it is an oil soluble essential oil; If not, then it is a water-soluble essential oil.
💧 Water soluble essential oil, also known as water quality essence, is a mixture of various natural or synthetic flavors, dissolved in 40% to 60% ethanol (or other water-soluble solvents). This essence is widely used in jam, fruit juice, jelly, fruit juice, soda, ice cream, tobacco and alcohol. In cosmetics, such as perfume and toilet water, it is also essential. Its advantages are good transparency in water and a light and fragrant head; The disadvantage is poor heat resistance. So in aromatherapy, it is often used for humidifiers or nebulizers.
🍃 Oil soluble essential oil, also known as oily essence, is made by dissolving natural and synthetic flavors in oily solvent or directly mixing natural and synthetic flavors. There are two types of commonly used oily solvents: one is vegetable oils, such as peanut oil, rapeseed oil, sesame oil, olive oil, and tea oil; Another type is organic solvents, commonly used include benzyl alcohol, triacetin, etc. The oil soluble essence prepared with vegetable oil as solvent has high flavor concentration, good heat resistance and long fragrance retention. It is mainly used in hot processed foods such as biscuits, Dim sum, candy, chocolate and chewing gum. The oil soluble essence, which is prepared with organic solvent as solvent or mixed with spices, is usually used in cream, lipstick, hair oil, hair fat and other cosmetics. Relatively speaking, oil soluble essence has better stability and stronger fragrance. It is mainly used in aromatherapy lamps, ovens, candles, crystal diffusion aromatherapy, car mounted fragrance expanders, etc.
