Olivem® 300 (Olive Oil PEG-7 Esters) is a water-soluble functional lipid derived from olive oil fatty acids. Known for its exceptional emolliency, lubricant properties, and long-term moisturizing effects, Olivem® 300 enhances both the performance and sensorial profile of a wide range of cosmetic and personal care formulations.
This slightly yellow liquid (at 20°C) not only conditions and softens skin but also supports sebum recovery for healthier skin barrier function. It works beautifully as a fragrance and essential oil solubilizer, a co-emulsifier in oil-in-water systems, and as a superfatting agent in cleansers and soaps.
Key Benefits:
Water-Soluble Functional Lipid – Adds hydration and nourishment to both skincare and haircare products.
Sebum Recovery – Helps restore the skin’s natural lipid balance.
Fragrance Solubilizer – Disperses essential oils and perfumes evenly in aqueous systems.
Co-Emulsifier – Stabilizes oil-in-water emulsions for improved texture and performance.
Superfatting Agent – Protects the hydrolipid barrier in cleansing products.
