Symbiosolv Clear Plus MB is a naturally derived, PEG-free solubiliser and co-surfactant for transparent cosmetic products. It is designed to help solubilise perfumes and essential oils into water-based systems while supporting a clean, low-odour and non-sticky finish. This ingredient is especially useful in tonics, micellar waters, wet wipe solutions, body washes, gels and foams where clarity and a more natural positioning matter.
Why we love it: Symbiosolv Clear Plus MB solves a practical formulation problem in a way that supports modern natural product development. It offers a PEG-free route to clearer water-based systems without relying on older, less elegant solubiliser choices.
