Guest guest Posted October 18, 2001 Report Share Posted October 18, 2001 I'm using Polysorbate 80 as an emulsifier in a hydrosol spray I'm using. It wasn't working at first - because I added the oils in before the Polysorbate 80 - duh- but after time they are blending much better - I can tell because the Sweet Orange is not laying in an orange layer on top anymore - LOL.

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 also i have found that even in my current state of recovery, soy lecithin which i miss in herbal teas that i buy often make my skin start to crawl. also my homeopath is against soy since it is 9 out 10 times genetically altered in the US. from this website I found the following on soy lecithin which makes me affirm my belief that the less precessed the better In this document, the term " release agent " refers to an agent used to facilitate the release of foods (such as baked goods) from food contact surfaces, such as conveyor belts, molds, extrusion equipment, and baking pans, where the agent has been applied directly to the food contact surface, rather than incorporated into the food for such purpose.
