Cetearyl Olivate (and) Sorbitan Olivate

Biomimetic Multifunctional O/W Self-Emulsifier
COSMOS-validated Olivem® 1000 is a PEG-free self-emulsifying multifunctional ingredient (white to ivory waxy flakes at 20°C, melting point ~ 70°C). It is a complex combination of fatty acids, chemically similar to the lipidic composition of the skin surface. Olivem® 1000 has the ability to generate liquid crystal structures that mimic the stratum corneum organization. As the sole emulsifier, Olivem® 1000 provides a deep moisturizing effect.
Hallstar conducted several clinical tests on this biomimetic emulsifying active to discover if its complex combination of fatty acids is compatible with the skin microbiota ecosystem, as experts recommend. Results showed Olivem© 1000 is indeed a microbiome-friendly functional ingredient that preserves skin’s cutaneous microbiota composition and biodiversity.
In addition to its many skin care applications, Olivem® 1000 can be used in hair care formulations such as crème rinse and leave-in conditioners, improving wet combability as demonstrated by clinical testing. It is also effective as the emulsifying base for more traditional hair conditioner formulae that use cationic ingredients, broadening its scope of applicability.
The recommended use level for Olivem® 1000 is 3 – 5% in o/w emulsions as the sole emulsifier and 0.5 – 2% as a co-emulsifier.

Polyglyceryl-4 Oleate (and) Polyglyceryl-3 Polyricinoleate

The Ultimate W/O Emulsifier, Solves the Most Challenging Emulsions
Water-in-oil emulsions are widely used in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, but they are known to be difficult to create and stabilize. In addition, beauty customers strongly request finished products with a light sensorial profile.
Olivem® 2090 G represents the perfect solution to these challenges, thanks to its innovative chemical structure based on the combination of polyglycerol esters of olive oil fatty acids and polyricinoleic acid. It is a natural derived ingredient cold process W/O emulsifier offering exceptional emulsifying performance combined with excellent sensorial and hydration benefits for multiple applications.

Ethylhexyl Olivate, Sodium Acrylates Copolymer, Polyglyceryl-4 Oleate

Naturally Derived Cold Process O/W Emulsifier
Olivem® 2020 G is a naturally-derived cold-process emulsifier based on olive oil chemistry for energy efficient operations. It is a multifunctional biomimetic ingredient combining excellent emulsification performance and natural dermollience. It can also be used as a sensorial modifier, stabilizer, and thickener to provide added benefits to a very wide range of formulations. Compared to other cold process emulsifiers on the market, Olivem® 2020 G delivers superior sensoriality attributes and sustains skin hydration. It is environmentally-friendly since it does not need heating or pressure to perform, and because its majority composition is nature-derived ingredients. The recommended use level for Olivem® 2020 G is 2-3% in o/w emulsions or 1% as a sensorial and stabilization ingredient. China-compliant
