<h4>FAQs</h4>
<p>Q: Can OliveM 300 solubilise essential oils directly into plain water?<br>A: It can help disperse small amounts, but clarity depends on the essential oil type and percentage, so small trials are recommended.</p>
<p>Q: Will it make my spray completely clear every time?<br>A: Not always, because different fragrance materials behave differently, so the ratio may need adjusting for best clarity.</p>
<p>Q: Is OliveM 300 suitable for facial products?<br>A: Yes, it is commonly used in facial formulas when included at appropriate formulation levels and the finished product is patch tested.</p>
