Orange oil for cleaning - khuks etc

Sorry Guy's

But I wanted to know the two environmentally friendly (EPA approved) surfactants added to allow d'limonene to blend with water.

I have some 100% D-Limonene and would like to be able to mix it with water.

TIA :)
 
Triton X-100, Dioctylsulfosuccinate 75, DisperByk, Niaproof 08, or any non-ionic dispersant.

I think Triton X-100 and DOS-75 are FDA approved; can't remember. All of them are EPA-friendly. DOS-75 is a common ingredient in soaps, shampoos, and hair conditioners.

Sigma-Aldrich sells the Triton X-100, and McIntyre sells the DOS-75 as Mackanate 75.

A little dab'll do ya when it comes to surfactants. Typical surfactant load in formulations is 0.5% to 1.5% of the weight of the ingredient to be dispersed.
