Olivem 1000

Olivem 1000 is a non-ionic, self-emulsifying oil-in-water (O/W) emulsifier obtained from olive oil fatty acids and sorbitol. In cosmetic formulations, it creates stable emulsions with a soft, creamy texture and very good spreadability. It is manufactured by processing olive lipids into functional esters that link the lipophilic part related to vegetable oils with the hydrophilic part required for emulsion formation. It is particularly suitable where the emulsifier is expected to fulfil more than just a technical role. In addition to joining the aqueous and oil phases, it helps to create lamellar structures that resemble the arrangement of lipids in the stratum corneum of the skin. Thanks to this, emulsions with Olivem 1000 are perceived as comfortable, hydrating and well tolerated, even in products intended for everyday use. In formulations it is used as a primary emulsifier for creams, facial lotions and emulsion serums, but also as an auxiliary emulsifier and texture stabiliser . An advantage is its broad usability – from light facial emulsions to more nourishing creams, body butters, rinse-off products, hair masks and mineral colour cosmetics. Key benefits Self-emulsifying O/W emulsifier – enables the creation of oil-in-water emulsions without the need for a complex emulsifier system. Olive oil origin – based on olive fatty acids and fits well into naturally oriented cosmetic formulas. Supports formation of lamellar structures – helps to create an arrangement similar to the skin’s lipid layers, which improves the comfort of the finished product. Improves hydration and sk
