LIGHT TEXTURE
DELICATE
OLEAMULS® OW is a mixed non-ionic/anionic emulsifying system based on upcycled olive oil residues that do not compete with the food chain, combined with polyglycerol from vegetable glycerin.
Used between 3% and 6% as the only emulsifier, it enables the incorporation of polar to medium-polar oil phases, including systems based on natural oils.
EFFICACY TESTS
LIQUID CRYSTALS
OLEAMULS® OW forms a liquid crystals structure that helps to retain the aqueous phase and the moisturizing effect of the formula.
