INCI: Olive Oil PEG-8 Esters
Category: Moisturizer
Trade name: Olivatis™ 15C
CAS number: 103819-46-1
1. Description
- Olivatis® 15C is a non-ionic olive oil-derived surfactant with an excellent emollient and skin care profile. That it is produced by an exclusive trans- esterification process where the glyceric fraction of Olive Oil is substituted by a very selected PEG-8.
- Ultra-mild moisturizing surfactant, lipid layer promoter, skin nourishing, conditioner.
- Even though modern chemistry keeps developing new ingredients for the personal care industry, vegetal oils still maintain their important role.
- While it is relatively easy to use vegetal oils in oolites or emulsions, it is more difficult to develop clear products containing vegetal oils in sufficient quantities to guarantee their efficacy. The addition of oil to an aqueous-based product causes inevitable solubilization problems, that can be solved only by large amounts of solubilizers, with negative effects on viscosity, foam, feel, and safety of the product.
