OliveM 1000 is a PEG-free self-emulsifying multifunctional ingredient (white to ivory waxy flakes at 20°C, melting point ~ 70°C). As the sole emulsifier, Olivem® 1000 provides a deep moisturizing effect.
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 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.
