Olivem 300

Olivem 300 is a water-soluble lipid (fat) that softens skin and adds richness to our products. It provides emolliency and mildness to formulations, and, given its natural affinity for human skin, helps protect the skin from dilapidation and irritation which may be caused by other surfactants.

Olivem 300 as the name suggests is an Olive derived natural Vegetable co-emulsifier, emollient, Lubricant, Moisturizing, and Solubilizing ingredient, which is perfect for mild creams specifically for delicate skin or in Children/ Baby care products.

Olivem 300 is an ester with strong emolliency and lubricant properties that offers a distinctive skin smoothness and long-term moisturizing effects. It also serves as a solubilizing aid for essential oils and perfumes. It can also be used as a co-emulsifier for o/w systems.

In watery concoctions like room sprays, body sprays, and hand washes Olivem 300 will self-disperse so you can easily include a bit of oil, making surfactant products gentler and mists more moisturizing. It can also help solubilize essential oils and fragrance oils.

In oil-based products like cleansing oils and cleansing balms Olivem 300 adds cleansing power and boosts rinse-off. I’ll often include it in body oils or after-bath oils because it means the body oil will self-emulsify with any water on the skin during application, but unlike a polysorbate it isn’t sticky and still has a lovely skin feel.

• You cannot Olivem 300 instead of a complete emulsifying wax, and you cannot use a complete emulsifying wax in place of Olivem 300.
• You cannot use a liquid surfactant in place of Olivem 300, and Olivem 300 is not a good alternative for a liquid surfactant.
• You cannot use other members of the Olivem family, like Olivem 1000, in place of Olivem 300.
