Cetearyl Olivate (and) Sorbitan Olivate (Olivem 1000) is one of the natural wonders of the plant derived world - a non-ionic emulsifying wax that's derived from the very same olive oil fatty acids that make your favourite salad dressing so tasty. It's basically made up of two things - Cetearyl Olivate and Sorbitan Olivate - which between them have earned Olivem 1000 the top rating from ECOCERT and made it fully biodegradable. As a result, Olivem 1000 is the go-to ingredient for loads of cosmetic and personal care products - and for good reason. Not only does it create stable oil-in-water emulsions but it also helps to lock in moisture, make skin feel silky smooth, and works like a charm to give your face a bit of extra TLC.
