Olivem 1000 — olive-derived emulsifier for creating skin-identical, stable emulsions
Olivem 1000 is a plant-based emulsifying system crafted from olive oil fatty acids, offering a unique ability to mimic the skin’s natural lipid barrier. Composed of Cetearyl Olivate and Sorbitan Olivate, it forms biomimetic lamellar structures that enhance hydration, barrier repair, and overall skin comfort. As a multifunctional ingredient, Olivem 1000 serves both as a primary emulsifier and a skin-conditioning agent, making it a favorite in natural, minimalist, and dermatological skincare formulations.
Its exceptional stability, silky finish, and compatibility with a wide range of pH levels (from 4 to 8) allow formulators to create luxurious creams, lotions, and serums with clean sensory profiles — no tackiness, heaviness, or greasy residue. It works beautifully in systems that include acids, peptides, botanical actives, or sensitive ingredients prone to destabilization.
Where Olivem 1000 is used
Olivem 1000 is ideal for:
moisturizers for dry, sensitive, or mature skin
daily facial creams and soothing emulsions
lotion-style body care and baby care
under-eye and neck area treatments
natural, organic, or vegan skincare lines
products with a clean-label or eco-certified focus
Its olive origin and mildness make it especially suited for sensitive-skin applications and global formulations that emphasize sustainability, safety, and functionality.
