Olivem® 1000 MB, a PEG-free, plant-derived oil-in-water (O/W) emulsifier and thickener. Derived from olive oil, this versatile ingredient is designed to create silky-smooth emulsions that deeply moisturize and mimic the skin’s own lipid structure.
With its ability to form liquid crystal structures, Olivem® 1000 MB provides superior skin affinity, improved hydration, and a luxurious, non-soapy after-feel, making it a favorite for clean beauty, organic-certified products, and sensitive skin formulations.
Olivem® 1000 MB is identical to Olivem 1000, but it is manufactured using palm oil that supports the production of certified sustainable palm oil.
Key Features & Benefits:
Natural Origin & Sustainability: Derived from olive oil; Palm oil used is RSPO Mass Balance (MB) certified.
Biomimetic Structure: Forms liquid crystals that mimic the organization of the skin's natural lipid barrier, enhancing hydration and reducing transepidermal water loss (TEWL).
Self-Emulsifying & Easy to Use: Generally requires no co-emulsifier, simplifying the formulating process.
Superior Skin Feel: Creates, light, penetrating emulsions with excellent spreadability and no "soapy" effect.
Versatile & Compatible: Works across a wide pH range (3–12), making it ideal for lotions, creams, serums, and even sun-care products with high active loads.
Microbiome-Friendly: Clinically tested to respect the skin's microbial diversity.
Certifications: COSMOS-validated, ISO and Ecocert-approved.
