Cetearyl Olivate & Sorbitan Olivate 

Description
OliveM 1000 is a natural emulsifying product derived from olive oil. It is used to create emulsions such as creams, lotions, body butters and conditioners, by binding oil and water molecules. It is heated with the oil phase of your formulation and subsequently combined with the water phase to create a cream or other emulsion. It is a white flaky wax that is active within a pH range of 3 to 12. It thickens and improves the spreadability of a cream. 

Cosmetic benefits
In addition to its functionality as an emulsifier and thickener, OliveM 1000 offers moisturising benefits to cosmetic products, boosting their hydration rate. It is safe enough to be used on sensitive skin. 

Formulation types
OliveM 1000 is used in a range of emulsions, including day and night creams, cleansers, facial, body and eye creams, sun products, some colour cosmetics, hair conditioners and tanning products. 

% Use in formulation
The recommended percentage of OliveM 1000 depends on your desired viscosity. It could be used in serums, milks and lotions at 2-4%, mid-weight creams at 5-6% and richer body products up to 8%. Results will vary based on the unique combination of ingredients in your formulation. 

Precautions/contraindications
