Nautica OliveM 300 is an olive oil-derived liquid emulsifier, emollient, and solubiliser used in a variety of cosmetic and cleansing formulations. It is water soluble, dispersible in oils, and especially useful in products where you want lightweight solubilising support, extra emolliency, or help with surfactant performance. This makes it a practical ingredient for shampoos, body cleansers, bath oils, and certain self-emulsifying oil products. It is a cosmetic formulation ingredient rather than a finished product.
♡ Why we love it: OliveM 300 is one of those genuinely useful crossover ingredients that can do a lot in the right formula. It brings flexibility to cleansers and light emulsified systems, while also adding a softer, more comfortable feel to the finished product.
