• Oil Phase Guidance: Keep the total oil phase at or below 25% for best stability.
• Processing Tip: If your formula includes water-soluble additives that may destabilise emulsions, add them during cool-down where possible and run a small stability test before scaling up.

• For external cosmetic formulation use only
• Avoid inhaling dust from flakes
• Avoid contact with eyes and rinse well if contact occurs
• Patch test finished products before full use
• Keep out of reach of children and pets
• Store sealed in a cool, dry place away from heat and direct sunlight

Q: Is OliveM 1000 suitable for oil-in-water emulsions?
A: Yes, it is designed specifically for oil-in-water creams and lotions.

Q: Can I use it as the only emulsifier?
A: It is commonly used as a co-emulsifier to improve texture and skin feel, and it can also be used in complete emulsifier systems depending on your formula.

Q: Why should I watch my oil phase percentage?
A: Keeping the oil phase at or below 25% helps the emulsion stay stable and reduces the chance of separation.
