Olivem 300 Emulsifier 1 L

Olivem 300 water dispersible emollient and solubilizer based on olive oil derivatives

Olivem 300 is a nonionic ingredient derived from ethoxylated esters of olive oil used in cosmetic formulations as a solubilizer emollient and co emulsifier. INCI Olive Oil PEG-7 Esters. It is designed for systems where incorporation of lipophilic substances into an aqueous environment is required while maintaining a light texture and stable appearance.

What it is and where it is used

Olivem 300 is used in cleansing products hydrophilic oils lotions toners and low viscosity emulsions. It is suitable for formulations where oils need to be dispersed into water without forming a heavy cream structure.

The material is commonly applied in transparent or semi transparent systems and in products designed for skin cleansing and removal of makeup or surface impurities.

How it works

Olivem 300 has an amphiphilic structure that enables interaction between oil and water phases. It reduces surface tension and allows uniform distribution of lipophilic components within aqueous systems.

This results in stable dispersions where oils remain evenly distributed without phase separation under proper formulation conditions.

Properties

Solubilizes oils in water based systems
Supports clear or slightly opalescent appearance
Improves spreadability and skin feel
Reduces greasy perception
Compatible with a wide range of cosmetic ingredients
Suitable for mild cleansing formulations

Applications across industries

In cosmetics it is used in cleansing oils lotions and water based systems
In skin care it is applied in lightweight formulations
In spa products it is used in mild cleansing blends
In formulation development it functions as a solubilizer and emollient

Behavior in formulation

Olivem 300 is water dispersible and forms clear or slightly opalescent systems depending on concentration. It can be used alone or combined with other emulsifiers.

It does not require heating and can be added at room temperature. It is compatible with oils essential oils and fragrance compositions.

How to use

Add to the aqueous phase or during blending
Can be used at ambient temperature
Mix until uniform

Recommended usage level

1 to 10 percent depending on formulation objective
Lower levels for fragrance solubilization
Higher levels for hydrophilic systems

Formulation example

Hydrophilic cleansing oil system

Olivem 300 — 150 ml
Caprylic Capric Triglyceride — 400 ml
Jojoba Oil — 300 ml
Polysorbate 80 — 100 ml
Tocopherol — 10 ml
Soft Clean Fragrance — 5 ml

Processing

All components are combined at room temperature and mixed until a uniform clear system is obtained. Olivem 300 enables compatibility of the oil phase with water during application.

Tocopherol and fragrance are added at the final stage and mixed thoroughly.

Important considerations

Olivem 300 is not intended as a primary emulsifier for high viscosity creams
It is designed for light systems and solubilization
Clarity depends on component ratios
Final performance depends on overall formulation composition
