Olivem 900 is a naturally derived emulsifier that is fabulous for oil in water emulsions.
Olivem 900 is an emulsifying wax naturally derived from olives and can be used to create water-in-oil (W/O) emulsions.
A water-in-oil emulsion is where ultra-fine droplets of water are dispersed throughout the oil base ingredients. These type of emulsions tend to be thicker and are wonderful for drier skin. We typically use Olivem 900 to create hand and body lotion.
INCI: Sorbitan Olivate
Suggested Usage: 1% to 9% in the oil phase of a formulation
Appearance: White, ivory flakes
Why use an emulsifier?
Emulsifiers are used in creams and lotions to mix water with oils. We all know that water and oil do not mix but stay separated, so an emulsifier is needed to keep the water and oil together.
Formulation Tip: You can use a small amount of Olivem 900 as a co-emulsifier to reduce the soapiness when using Olivem 1000
