Composition
Characteristics
Properties: 100% plant-derived raw materials and palm free.

For light texture emulsions manufactured via heated processing technique in alternative to the oil in water (O/W) PEG emulsifier.

Thanks to the liquid-crystal structures it is possible to have stabilization of the emulsion viscosity even in presence of lipid phases with different polarities.

The emulsion obtained is satiny and shiny in appearance.

Soft and light feel, with a refreshing sensation to the skin when applied. High skin absorption with the effect of reducing water loss.

Easy to use, it is fully dispersible in warm water and miscible in vegetal and mineral oils.

Good density, limited thixotropic behavior and stable viscosity over time. Very low sensitivity to variations in temperature.

Technical Details & Test Data

Test: An “in vivo” efficacy study was implemented to detect the capability of OLEAMULS® OW in boosting skin hydration.

It has been proven that liquid crystal emulsions moisturize the epidermis and protect it by reducing TEWL.

Storage & Handling
