NAUTICA Olivem 1000 - 100G

Nautica OliveM 1000 is a naturally derived emulsifier and thickener used to create oil-in-water emulsions with a smooth, elegant skin feel. Derived from olive oil, it is especially popular in moisturising creams, night creams, and softer-feeling lotions where a more refined finish is wanted. It is best used as a co-emulsifier and is valued for its broad compatibility across a wide pH range and many cosmetic ingredients.

This is a cosmetic raw material for formulation use, not a finished product. Why we love it: OliveM 1000 is a lovely option for formulators who want a more natural-leaning emulsifier with a beautiful finished feel on the skin. It is especially appealing in moisturising products where texture and skin comfort matter just as much as stability.
