Olivem 1000 - 250G

Essentially Natural OliveM 1000 is a natural olive oil-derived emulsifier and thickener used to make oil-in-water creams and lotions. It helps bring oil and water together while contributing a richer, softer skin feel in the finished emulsion. The cream-coloured flake format is easy to weigh into the oil phase before heating.

This is a formulation ingredient, not a finished skincare product to use on its own. Why we love it: We chose to offer this because it helps makers create more polished emulsions with a cushioned, comfortable skin feel while staying aligned with a more natural ingredient approach. It is especially useful when a formula needs both structure and a gentler, more elegant finish.

As a Texture Builder: Pair it with suitable oils and fatty ingredients when you want a richer, more cushioned cream or lotion texture.

Processing Tip: If your formula contains water-soluble additives that may affect stability, add them during cool-down where possible and run a small test batch first.

OliveM 1000 Safety Instructions For external cosmetic formulation use only Avoid inhaling dust from flakes Avoid contact with eyes Keep out of reach of children and pets Store sealed in a cool, dry place away from heat and direct sunlight FAQs Q: Can OliveM 1000 be used on its own as the only emulsifier?

A: It is commonly used as a co-emulsifier to improve texture and skin feel, though it can also form part of a full emulsifier system depending on the formula. Q: Is it suitable for oil-in-water emulsions only? A: Yes. It is intended for oil-in-water creams and lotions rather than water-in-oil systems.

Q: Why should I keep the oil phase at or below 25%? A: That guideline helps support emulsion stability and reduces the chance of separation in richer formulas.
