LIQUID CRYSTALS

REFATTING AGENT

hydrating

OLEAMULS® WS is a 100% plant-derived hydrophilic lipid for cosmetic use, with adjustable hydrophilic-lipophilic properties, obtained through the esterification of upcycled, non-edible olive oil fatty acids to vegetable polyglycerol.
 
OLEAMULS® WS acts as a skin-compatible refatting lipid, supporting the hydrolipidic balance of the skin: it forms a lattice structure in the form of liquid crystals that helps to retain the aqueous phase and enhance the moisturizing power of the emulsions. In this particular sort of “network”, the quantity of intralamellar water can reach very high percentages and becomes immediately available when the cream is applied to the epidermis. 

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.
