OLEAMULS® OW is a mixed non-ionic / anionic emulsifying system, with non-ionic behavior based on upcycled residues from olive oil production that doesn’t compete with food feedstock and Polyglycerol from vegetable glycerin.
It forms a liquid crystals structure that helps to retain the aqueous phase and the moisturizing effect of the formula.
Used between 3% and 6% as the only emulsifier, it allows to incorporate up to 60% of polar / medium polar oily phase containing natural oils as the sole source of lipids.
It is specifically designed to obtain light and evanescent texture easy to absorb.
Remarkably versatile in terms of formulation and compatibility with all active ingredients, it is also extremely well-tolerated by the skin.
OLEAMULS® OW does not need high amount of rheology modifiers or specific additives, it exhibits limited thixotropic behavior with viscosity stable over time and low sensitivity to temperature variations.
The product is suited for use with all of the processing methods normally employed in the cosmetics/pharmaceutical industries.
