Olivem 1000 is a high-performance, plant-derived emulsifier from Bio Shop™. It’s a PEG-free, COSMOS-certified ingredient composed of Cetearyl Olivate and Sorbitan Olivate, derived from olive oil. This emulsifier excels in creating stable oil-in-water emulsions, making it ideal for formulating creams, lotions, serums, and moisturizers. It operates effectively across a wide pH range (3–12) and is compatible with various active ingredients, including AHAs and salicylic acid.
Olivem 1000 is known for its deep moisturizing properties, excellent spreadability, and skin-like feel. It mimics the skin's lipid structure, enhancing the skin barrier and providing a non-greasy finish. This emulsifier is hypoallergenic, vegan, and suitable for sensitive skin formulations.
Usage Instructions: Incorporate Olivem 1000 at a concentration of 1.5–4% for standard emulsions and 3–4% for higher viscosity systems. Melt it into the oil phase, then combine with the water phase while stirring. For enhanced stability, consider adding a water-phase thickener like xanthan gum at 0.2%.
For optimal results, maintain the oil phase below 20% and ensure thorough mixing during emulsification. Olivem 1000 is an excellent choice for creating luxurious, stable, and skin-friendly emulsions in your DIY beauty formulations.
