Peppermint oil is insoluble in water, making it difficult to disperse evenly in water on its own. However, by mixing peppermint oil with polysorbate, an emulsifier, it allows the oil to be dispersed evenly in water, creating a stable and homogeneous solution. This combination of peppermint oil and polysorbate in water can be beneficial for creating products such as aromatherapy sprays or skincare products that require the even dispersion of essential oils in water.
