An emulsifier for a moisturizer?

Hello.
Im currently getting ingredients to make a spritz to moisturize my hair. Some things i'll be putting in it are water, aloe vera juice, and some oils.
I'd heard that a concoction like this would need an emulsifier to blend the oils and water I guess.
Does anyone know any types of natural emulsifiers? Is it possible for me to get my hands on one?

For a spray you could probably start using it around 2%. Don't forget to use a preservative.
As far as "natural" emulsifiers go, they're more difficult for home crafters to get a hold of, more of a challenge to use, and way more expensive to buy!
HTH & good luck.

Yup!
Both of those sites also have great formularies with recipes you can try and modify for your own needs. Just leave out the cones and add more water to replace the %.
