Ultra-Mild Water-Soluble Surfactant for Sensitive Formulations

Product Overview
Olivatis® 15C, derived from the trans-esterification of Olive Oil with PEG-8, is an ultra-mild, water-soluble surfactant that stands at the forefront of cosmetic innovation. This versatile ingredient is designed to enhance a wide range of personal care products, from sensitive skin formulations to advanced hair care solutions. With its excellent dermatological profile, Olivatis® 15C ensures that products are as gentle as they are effective, making it ideal for formulations intended for the most delicate skin.
The unique composition of Olivatis® 15C allows it to blend seamlessly into various formulations, providing moisturising benefits without compromising on performance. Its ability to act as a co-surfactant at concentrations between 1-3% helps reduce the irritation potential of the base formulation, while simultaneously offering emollient and conditioning effects. This property makes Olivatis® 15C perfect for use in baby shampoos, intimate toiletries, and eye face cleansers where mildness is paramount.
Olivatis® 15C is fully miscible in water and compatible with all types of surfactants, including cationic, non-ionic, and anionic varieties. This compatibility, coupled with its non-irritating nature to both skin and eyes, enhances its applicability across a broad spectrum of personal care products. Whether incorporated into soap bars to improve the after-use skin feel or used in bath bombs and fizzies for added suppleness, Olivatis® 15C modifies the sensory attributes of products to deliver a more luxurious user experience.
In terms of stability and ease of use, Olivatis® 15C is non-heat sensitive and can be incorporated at any step of the manufacturing process without altering standard procedures. This ease of formulation is complemented by its stability in a wide pH range, ensuring that the end products maintain their integrity under various storage and usage conditions. Additionally, its clear, light yellow appearance and virtually odourless nature make it an excellent choice for formulating clear and appealing cosmetic products.
Olivatis® 15C is not just an ingredient but a multifaceted tool that empowers formulators to create more gentle, effective, and consumer-friendly products. Its combination of moisturising properties, formulation stability, and broad compatibility makes it an invaluable addition to any product line aimed at delivering high performance with utmost gentleness. By choosing Olivatis® 15C, brands can confidently address the needs of consumers seeking safe, effective, and sustainable cosmetic solutions.
