Olivem 1000 — olive oil–based emulsifier for biomimetic and stable skincare formulations
Olivem 1000 is a naturally derived emulsifier developed from olive oil fatty acids, designed to create stable oil-in-water emulsions that closely mimic the skin’s natural lipid matrix. With INCI components Cetearyl Olivate and Sorbitan Olivate, it forms lamellar liquid crystal structures that enhance hydration, improve skin barrier function, and deliver an exceptionally smooth and non-greasy finish.
Unlike conventional emulsifiers, Olivem 1000 supports deep moisturization while allowing active ingredients to penetrate more effectively. Its non-irritating, hypoallergenic nature makes it ideal for use in clean beauty, dermatologically tested, baby-safe, and sensitive-skin formulations.
Key applications of Olivem 1000
Olivem 1000 is widely used in:
moisturizing facial and body creams
emulsions for sensitive or reactive skin
under-eye care and light facial lotions
formulas with acids, peptides, and vitamins
natural, organic, and minimalist skincare lines
non-comedogenic daily creams with fast absorption
It works well across a broad pH range and provides emulsification without the need for synthetic stabilizers or co-emulsifiers, making it a top choice for modern green chemistry and sustainable beauty.
Sample formulation: Light barrier-restoring cream with Olivem 1000
Phase A:
Rice bran oil — 6 g
Refined shea butter — 3 g
Olivem 1000 — 5 g
Phase B:
Rosemary hydrosol — 65 ml
