OLEAMULS® LOW
Liquid Oil in Water emulsifier for low viscosity emulsions
Liquid Oil in Water emulsifier for low viscosity emulsions
INCI
Polyglyceryl-6 Oleate, Potassium Olivate
OLEAMULS® LOW is a liquid O/W emulsifier based on a combination of polyglycerol from vegetable glycerin and fatty acids from upcycled olive oil by-products, including potassium olivate.
Its liquid crystal structure allows the incorporation of a high proportion of interlamellar water, providing an immediate refreshing and light skin feel upon application. Versatile in formulation, it is compatible with all active ingredients and well-tolerated by the skin.
The resulting emulsions are stable and fresh, delivering a pleasant sensation of lightness even with a high oil phase content. Mimicking the skin’s natural barrier, it helps to reduce trans-epidermal water loss and enhance hydration.
OLEAMULS® LOW forms a liquid crystals structure that helps to retain the aqueous phase and the moisturizing effect of the formula.
In vivo tests show that OLEAMULS® LOW provides hydration comparable to synthetic ethoxylated emulsifiers, with improved long-lasting effect and superior sensorial preference.
