01
Product Description
Olivem® 1000 is a PEG-free self-emulsifying multifunctional ingredient (white to ivory waxy flakes at 20°C, melting point ~ 70°C). It is a complex combination of fatty acids, chemically similar to the lipidic composition of the skin surface. Olivem® 1000 has the ability to generate liquid crystal structures that mimic the stratum corneum organization. As the sole emulsifier, Olivem® 1000 provides a deep moisturizing effect with excellent spreadability and no soapy effect. It has good compatibility with Dihydroxyacetone and with alpha-hydroxy acids and is useful in formulations with pH 3 – 12. Further, it is COSMOS-validated. The recommended use level for Olivem® 1000 is 1.5 – 4% in o/w emulsions as the sole emulsifier (3 – 4% for higher viscosity systems).
Olivem 1000 is a plant-derived, non-ionic emulsifier, derived from olive oil, designed to create stable oil-in-water emulsions. It is ideal for natural and organic skincare formulations, mimicking the lipid composition of the skin, offering superior hydration, and promoting eco-friendly cosmetics. Its liquid crystal structure makes it a must-have for luxurious creams, lotions, body butters, and conditioners.
