Description
Emulsifier Olliva – Biomimetic, Multifunctional, Restructuring
Olliva is a self-emulsifier developed based on advanced expertise in olive oil chemistry, renowned for its ability to generate lamellar liquid crystalline structures (liquid crystals) within emulsions. These structures are biomimetic, mimicking the lipid organization of the human stratum corneum. Consequently, Olliva does not merely act as a simple binder between water and oil, but as a structural active that integrates lipids into the skin, restores the degraded hydrolipidic barrier, and provides long-lasting hydration.
It possesses excellent anti-aging and anti-redness properties and can also be used as a protective shield against environmental factors and as an SPF booster. Additionally, it promotes skin radiance and physiological hydration.
In addition to its numerous applications in skin care, Olliva can be used in hair care formulations, such as rinse-off and leave-in conditioners, improving the combability of wet hair as demonstrated in clinical tests. It is also effective as an emulsifying base for traditional hair conditioner formulas that utilize cationic ingredients.
Ingredients (INCI): Cetearyl Olivate, Sorbitan Olivate.
Technical Characteristics
- Emulsion Type: Oil-in-Water (O/W), non-ionic.
- Appearance: Cream-white pellets, neutral odor.
- Stable pH Range: 3.0 - 12.0
- General Dosage: 1% - 8%
Properties and Benefits
- Liquid Crystals: Generates a three-dimensional lamellar network that holds water within the formula and gradually releases it into the epidermis, ensuring hydration that lasts up to 24 hours.
- Biomimicry: Its network naturally fuses with the skin's own sebum and ceramides, restructuring the skin barrier and significantly reducing transepidermal water loss (TEWL). It has a proven repairing effect on keratinocytes and an exceptional ability to maintain the balance of the skin microbiome.
- Gelling Agent: When used in a formula without a lipid phase (0% oil), Olliva shifts its role from a classic emulsifier to a gelling and liquid crystal structuring agent.
- Sensory Profile: Imparts a fine, glossy texture and a velvety feel to emulsions, with good penetration.
Applications
- Day and night facial creams for all skin types.
- Body lotions, moisturizing milks, and rich body butters.
- Eye creams and treatments for delicate areas.
- Sun protection formulas and soothing after-sun lotions.
- Advanced active delivery formulas (e.g., anti-cellulite, with caffeine, peptides, or niacinamide).
- Oil-free cream-gels, cleansing balms.
- Gentle skin care products for babies and children.
Formulation Guide
- Procedure: Typically incorporated using the standard emulsion preparation procedure, adding it to the oil phase with heating.
- Sensory Impact: Can produce different sensory effects depending on the phase into which it is added. If added to the oil phase, the resulting emulsion provides a richer, more nourishing feel upon application, increased structural density, and faster skin absorption. If added to the water phase, the emulsion acquires a very light, watery sensory profile with higher spreadability on the skin surface.
- Compatibility: Exhibits good compatibility with challenging ingredients such as electrolytes, alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs), and DHA.
- Optimal pH Range: 3.0 - 12.0
- Fat Phase Percentage: 5% - 25%
- Recommended Usage Dosage: 1% - 3%: Co-emulsifier or for lightweight emulsions and emulsified serums. 4% - 5%: For classic, medium-viscosity creams. 6% - 8%: For dense creams, emulsified body butters.
- Stabilization, Viscosity Modulation: Although it functions well on its own, it can be combined with other emulsifiers to enhance texture, stability, or performance. For optimal stability, we recommend using Xanthan or ACX gum in the water phase. Consider using 1-2% Glyceryl Stearate or 1-3% Creme Wax. Fatty alcohols, such as Behenyl Alcohol, Cetyl Alcohol, or Cetearyl Alcohol, can be added to the oil phase to thicken it if necessary.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Why does a cream made with Olliva leave white streaks on the skin during application?
The whitening effect (soaping) is a well-known characteristic of this emulsifier, manifesting especially when used as the sole emulsifier alongside heavy plant oils or polar oils. This is due to the way the lamellar network breaks down on the skin under mechanical massage and does not affect the quality of the cream. It can be minimized by replacing a portion of the heavy oils with light esters like Coco-Silicone.
Safety in Use and Storage
Safety Profile: Safe ingredient with good skin tolerance.
Precautions: For external cosmetic use only.
Storage: Keep in a closed container, in a dry and cool place, protected from light.

Olliva Emulsifier is the first choice among the emulsifiers needed in the formulation of oil-in-water emulsions.Its excellent affinity for the skin makes it a must have in any natural cosmetics formulator's kit.
My favorite emulsifier, for gentle creams that absorb really well into the skin without leaving that unpleasant greasy film. Used successfully for even the most sensitive skin
Suitable for making face creams, body creams and lotions, eye creams, hair conditioners, crème cleansers, oil free creams.
It is my friend in the realization of cosmetic products, it facilitates the penetration of water soluble active substances into the epidermis.
I use it because it gives the skin a nice velvety feel .the texture being wonderful .It is my favorite emulsifier. It works very well with it and is f.suitable for my dry-mature skin.
No offense, but you have increased the prices a lot and more than that, we can't buy by 500g anymore. Either the quantity is too small, 50g, or too big, 1kg and therefore extremely expensive. Please leave the 500g as it was before.
Is my favorite emulsifier. It works really well and easily with it and is ft suitable for my dry-normal complexion.
The Olliva emulsifier makes the texture of the creams very pleasant, with a caressing consistency against the skin.
I use this emulsifier in the preparation of Argan & Blackcurrant Anti-Aging Cream, a cream that I am absolutely addicted to. It is an emulsifier with an excellent affinity for the skin that facilitates the penetration of the active substances in the cream composition into the epidermis. It is one of the products I purchase regularly.
Definitely an appreciable emusifiant, both in terms of ease of processing and stability as well as the texture of the creams obtained and their versatility.
I use this unique emulsifier, in my skin creams or together with Bella, for my body lotion. I am very pleased with how it behaves, it's easy to work with, I recommend it!
It is an emulsifier without which my creams would not be so appreciated! It is very easy to work with and gives products superior qualities!
Naturally derived self-emulsifier designed for oil-in-water emulsions with excellent skin affinity and sensory versatility. Facilitates the penetration of water-soluble active substances into the epidermis.
The most convenient emulsifier for various products especially oil-in-water emulsions There are virtually no failures with it
It is a very good ingredient in the creation of face creams, it is very qualitative and blends very easily with the other ingredients! Pleasant on the skin. I recommend!
an emulsifier with which I work very easily, it creates creams with fine and elegant texture. I use it in most creams
It's an emulsifier that I always use 4:1 and if I want a more fluid emulsion 5:1. It is not resistant and does not offer stability to emulsions that have a very high load of electrolytes and oils with very high polarity.
Emulsification is easy, the resulting emulsions are stable and penetrate easily into the skin. Em.Oliva is a product that does not leave a greasy feeling, it is very good in quality.
It is an indispensable emulsifier in cosmetic formulations such as oil-in-water emulsions.Its affinity for the skin makes it the first choice in the development of skin and hair products.
