I'm sure you've seen the way oil always floats on top of water when the two are combined. Make (and shake) a simple oil and vinegar dressing and the 2 components will separate before they even make it out of the bottle.
This happens whether you are mixing oil and water for salad dressing or for a cosmetic product. Oil will be oil and water will be water.
Above: a little demonstration of 3 different essential oils in vinegar (or should I say on vinegar). One of the reasons oil and vinegar (or water) do not readily mix is because they do not have the same specific gravity. I made these vials up several months ago just to see if there was even the slightest possibility that the oils would decide to mix with the vinegar, but they are behaving exactly as expected. They are having nothing to do with the vinegar.
Today we're going to get a little bit nerdy, but I'll try and make it fun too (and promise to throw in a little surprise).
