OliveM 900 is a PEG-free co-emulsifier based on Sorbitan Olivate, used in cosmetic formulations where structure, powder wetting, and rich emollient support are needed. It comes as an ivory waxy solid in flake form and is especially useful in water-in-oil and water-in-silicone style systems, lipogels, and selected emulsified products.
It is not a finished emulsifier blend on its own in every application, but a versatile formulation ingredient that helps build texture and improve product performance. Why we love it: It is a smart, flexible workhorse for formulators who want more control over texture and oil-phase performance. We chose to offer it because it supports PEG-free formulation design, works across several product types, and gives elegant structure without pushing a formula in a heavy or fussy direction.
