Olivem 1000
Ultra-Gentle, Olive-Derived Emulsifier for Luxurious Skincare
Olivem 1000 Wax is a 100% natural, plant-based emulsifying wax derived from olive oil. Composed of cetearyl olivate and sorbitan olivate, it creates stable, silky emulsions without synthetic additives. Renowned for its skin-friendly properties, it forms liquid crystal structures that enhance product stability and mimic the skin’s natural barrier, delivering deep hydration and a velvety finish.

- Sunscreens & SPF Products: Enhances UV filter dispersion and texture.
- Sensitive Skin Formulas: Gentle enough for eczema-prone or reactive skin.
- Baby Care: Safe for delicate infant skincare products.
Benefits
- Nourishing Hydration: Olive-derived fatty acids replenish and soften skin.
- Non-Greasy Feel: Absorbs quickly, leaving a smooth, matte finish.

How to Use
