- Olivatis® 18 is the perfect solution for skin care, suncare and color cosmetics.
- Olivatis® 18 is RSPO Mass Balance certified.
- Polyglycerine from vegetal glycerine
- Olive fatty acids
- Lactic acid
- Cetearyl alcohol and stearic acid of vegetal origin
Olivatis 18 is a unique selection of ingredients with a composition similar to the natural lipid layer of skin. The combination of an emulsifier derived from olive oil, that is rich in fatty acids similar to those of human sebum, and of a derivative of lactic acid, an essential component of the NMF, makes Olivatis 18 a superior emulsifier with skin moisturizing and protecting properties. Once dispersed in water, Olivatis 18 forms a jelly dispersion with a pH between 5 and 6 like human skin’s.

Skin Care
- Olivatis 18 has an excellent skin compatibility. Thanks to its minimal impact on the natural lipids of skin, it is an outstanding emulsifier for skin care emulsions for dry and sensitive skin. Olivatis 18 maintains the natural defenses of skin against moisture loss and external irritants.
- Olivatis 18 can be used in all skin care emulsions as a stand-alone emulsifiers and with other surfaceactive ingredients.
Sun Care
- Olivatis 18 is an excellent emulsifier for sun care formulations. It is compatible with physical and chemical UV-filters. It is also suitable in high Titanium Dioxide formulations where agglomeration can be an issue.
Color Cosmetics
- Olivatis 18 as standalone emulsifier can be used in foundations and other color cosmetics emulsions such as highlighters and make-up primers. It is particularly suitable for formulations for dry and sensitive skin when a high moisture retention and a low skin irritation potential are essential.

Technical Details & Test Data
- Liquid Crystals Promotion
Olivatis 18 creates systems organized in liquid crystal lamellar phases, without the addition of other ethoxylated co-emulsifiers and regardless of the chemical structure and polarity of the substances in the internal phase of emulsions.
Olivatis 18 generates liquid crystalline lamellar phases around the oil droplets that, protected by a double stratum of amphiphilic molecules, concentrated in the O/W interface, guarantee the stability of the system. At least 3 surrounding layers of amphiphilic substances are required to form a liquid crystal.
Thanks to the liquid crystal structure, emulsions with Olivatis 18 have the same self-organizing pattern of the lipids of the natural stratum corneum. The intercellular lipids of the stratum corneum contribute to the maintenance of a healthy skin: by hydration, cell adhesion and reduction of transepidermal water loss. All these functions are provided by the self-organizing properties of the lipids in Olivatis 18 emulsions, showing a high affinity to skin and restoring the natural hydrolipidic film that protects from trans-epidermal water loss, with a superior moisturizing effect.
Furthermore, the great quantity of water trapped in the lamellar structures is immediately available when the cream is applied on skin. For this reason, emulsions have a shiny surface, a fresh and light feel and leave a light sensation on skin.- Emulsifying Power
- Olivatis 18 can be used at 3,0 – 6,5% concentrations, depending on the amount of oils and up to 50 % of oils can be emulsified.
- Emulsions with Olivatis 18 have an excellent skin feel, are easily spreadable, not-oily and leave a fresh sensation on skin.
- Olivatis 18 has excellent thickening properties, very slightly affected by different concentrations of oil.
- The emulsifying power of Olivatis 18 is not influenced by the presence of glycols, glycerin, alcohols, mineral & organic sunscreens, pigments, whitening agents, alpha hydroxyl acids.
- Olivatis 18 is effective with oils of different nature and polarity and is therefore quite compatible with all popular oils used in cosmetics.
