What can you use for an emulsifying agent to mix vegetable oil and water?

caused by hydrophobic interactions, vegetable oils contain hydrophobic (water hating) side chains and will fold in order to prevent these from being in contact with water.

Because, the molecules in vegetable oil are nonpolar, and nonpolar molecules have little attraction for polar water molecules.

Try adding some water soluble Lavender oil. It worked for me.

Water is what is known as a "polar" molecule. This means that there is unequal sharing of electrons between the hydrogen and the electronegative oxygen. This results in a slight positive charge on...

Vegetable oil is denser then water, so it floats on top. Oil is also a lipid, which is hydrophobic, meaning it does not like water. They do not mix.
