Olivem® 300 – Water-Soluble Emollient & Solubilizing Aid
Bring a soft, moisturized feel to your handmade skin and hair care with Olivem® 300. This olive oil-derived liquid emollient lets you add conditioning properties to water-based formulations, including shampoos, body washes and facial cleansers.
Olivem® 300 works as a refatting agent, helping reduce the stripped feeling that can follow cleansing. It also supports fragrance and essential oil solubilization and acts as a co-emulsifier in oil-in-water creams and lotions.
