Olivem 300 Emulsifier 10 ml

Olivem 300 olive derived PEG ester for solubilization and lightweight emulsification systems

Olivem 300 is a nonionic olive based PEG ester designed for use as a solubilizer emollient and auxiliary emulsifying agent in cosmetic formulations. INCI Olive Oil PEG-7 Esters. It is used in systems where controlled dispersion of oils in aqueous environments and low viscosity textures are required.

What it is and where it is used

Olivem 300 is incorporated into micellar type systems hydrophilic oils cleansing blends toners and light lotions. It is suitable for formulations where transparent or low turbidity appearance is preferred and where lipid components need to be introduced into water based systems.

It is commonly used in products designed for cleansing light conditioning and delivery of oil soluble components in a water compatible format.

How it works

The molecule contains both hydrophilic and lipophilic segments allowing interaction between oil droplets and water phase. It reduces interfacial tension and promotes formation of stable dispersions.

It enables uniform distribution of fragrance oils carrier oils and lipophilic actives within aqueous or semi aqueous systems.

Properties

Efficient solubilization of lipophilic components
Supports clear or translucent systems
Light emollient effect without heaviness
Improves spreading and distribution
Compatible with surfactants and emulsifiers
Suitable for low viscosity formulations

Applications across industries

In cosmetics it is used in cleansing waters hydrophilic oils toners and lotions
In skin care it is applied in light delivery systems
In spa products it is used in mild cleansing and rinse off blends
In formulation development it is used to integrate oils into water based matrices

Behavior in formulation

Olivem 300 is water dispersible and forms stable systems when properly balanced with oil content. It can be combined with other emulsifiers or surfactants to optimize clarity and stability.

It is typically added without heating and can be incorporated at different stages depending on formulation design.

How to use

Add directly to water phase or blend with oil phase before dispersion
Incorporate at ambient temperature
Mix until homogeneous system is achieved

Recommended usage level

1 to 8 percent for solubilization
Up to 12 percent for higher oil load systems
Adjust based on clarity and stability requirements

Formulation example

Light cleansing water with oil dispersion

Water — 700 ml
Olivem 300 — 120 ml
Caprylic Capric Triglyceride — 120 ml
Polysorbate 20 — 40 ml
Glycerin — 10 ml
Fragrance — 5 ml
Preservative — 5 ml

Processing

Water phase components are combined first followed by gradual addition of Olivem 300 with mixing. Oil phase is introduced slowly to achieve uniform dispersion.

Final ingredients are added at the last stage and the system is mixed until clear or slightly opalescent.

Important considerations

Performance depends on oil to solubilizer ratio
Excess oil may reduce clarity
System stability must be evaluated during development
Final properties depend on full formulation balance
