OLEAMULS® WS is a 100% plant derived “hydrophilic lipid” for cosmetic use, with adjustable hydrophilic-lipophilic properties, obtained through the esterification of olive oil fatty acids upcycled and not edible vegetal waste from olive oil production, to vegetable polyglycerol.

OLEAMULS® WS can be used as co-emulsifier in different type of emulsions, capable to allow liquid crystals, adding fresh, velvety and glossy finish. It finds also application as refatting agent in water-based formulations bringing the unique moisturizing properties of olive oil into water.

OLEAMULS® WS is derived from food-grade ingredients and has excellent skin and oral compatibility.

EFFICACY TESTS

LIQUID CRYSTALS

OLEAMULS® WS forms a liquid crystals structure that helps to retain the aqueous phase and the moisturizing effect of the formula.

HYDRATING PROPERTIES

Efficacy tests show improved hydrolipidic film defenses resulting in decreased TEWL and increased hydration, leaving a pleasant sensation of freshness on the skin. 2% OLEAMULS® WS significantly decreased TEWL while maintaining hydration at all time point. Placebo Body wash instead shows an increase in TEWL and a decrease in hydration at all times.
