Surfactant CCG is also known as Plantasol CCG. It is manufactured from coconut and fruit sugars and has Ecocert certification.
Surfactant CCG is a non-ionic surfactant that is wonderful for foaming cleansing formulations. It is gentle and can be used as the main cleanser in rinse-off products such as face cleanser or make-up remover. It can also be used in leave-on formulations.
We love to use it as a solubilising agent for essential oils and very small amounts of lipids (oils).
How to use as a solubiliser: Mix the essential oil and solubiliser first in a premix, then add this mixture to water a little at a time. It may appear cloudy and you will need to experiment with your oil, solubiliser and water ratios.
To find the correct ratio, start your experimenting with 8:1 ratio (8 parts CCG and 1 part essential oil). Mix it together and leave for 24 hours. If this creates a clear and stable solution, you can try using smaller amounts of CCG to find the minimal amount/ratio that will work.
For harder to solubilise oils, you can also work your way up to 10:1 (10 parts CCG and 1 part essential oil).
As this is a surfactant, if you're using this as a solubiliser for creating room sprays, you may find it foams or bubbles slightly when the bottle is shaken.
Creating bubbles! This surfactant can be blended with other natural surfactants to create wonderful bubble baths!!
