Sorbitan Olivate

It is a naturally derived emulsifier made from sorbitol (a sugar alcohol) and olive oil. It is often used in skincare products to help blend oil and water-based ingredients together, creating smooth and stable emulsions. This ingredient is valued for its mildness and skin-nourishing properties.

Benefits in Skincare:

  • Natural Emulsifier: Sorbitan Olivate helps to stabilize formulations by allowing oil and water to mix effectively, ensuring a smooth and even texture in creams, lotions, and serums.

  • Moisturizing and Nourishing: Derived from olive oil, Sorbitan Olivate offers nourishing benefits to the skin, helping to maintain hydration and provide a soft, smooth feeling without being greasy.

  • Gentle on the Skin: As a natural ingredient, it is mild and well-tolerated by most skin types, including sensitive skin, making it a great choice for formulations intended for delicate or reactive skin.

  • Improves Product Feel: This emulsifier enhances the sensory experience of skincare products, contributing to a non-greasy, velvety finish that feels comfortable on the skin.

  • Supports Skin Barrier: The olive oil component adds antioxidants and essential fatty acids, which support the skin's natural barrier, helping to lock in moisture and protect against environmental stressors.

Sorbitan Olivate is a gentle, natural emulsifier that helps to create stable, smooth skincare products while offering added moisturizing and nourishing benefits. It’s an ideal choice for formulations targeting sensitive skin and products that need a soft, non-greasy feel.
