Abstract:
A hydrosoluble micro-emulsion composition comprising:water; an active liquid lipophilic vegetable material; and a hydrosolubilizing phase comprising a mixture of at least two surfactants which are ecologically optimized for reduced ecotoxicity; a first surfactant, of the at least two surfactants, being a non-ionic ethoxylated vegetable oil surfactant; and a second surfactant, of the at least two surfactants, being an anionic carboxylated ethoxylated vegetable oil surfactant; wherein the hydrosolubilizing phase solely hydrosolubilizes the active liquid lipophilic vegetable material, without chemically reacting with the active lipophilic vegetable material, to render the liquid lipophilic vegetable material completely hydrosoluble as a micro-emulsion when mixed with the water, the micro-emulsion is clear and transparent and is substantially harmless to daphnia.
