INCI: Olive Oil PEG 7 Esters

OliveM 300 is a lightweight, olive oil-derived solubiliser and emollient used to improve clarity, mildness, and skin feel in cosmetic formulas. It is water soluble, alcohol soluble, and oil dispersible, so it blends easily into mists, cleansers, bath oils, and creams. It is commonly used to help disperse small amounts of essential oils or fragrance, and to add silky slip in both leave-on and rinse-off products.

Q: Can OliveM 300 solubilise essential oils directly into plain water?
A: It can help disperse small amounts, but clarity depends on the essential oil type and percentage, so small trials are recommended.

Q: Will it make my spray completely clear every time?
A: Not always, because different fragrance materials behave differently, so the ratio may need adjusting for best clarity.

Q: Is OliveM 300 suitable for facial products?
A: Yes, it is commonly used in facial formulas when included at appropriate formulation levels and the finished product is patch tested.
