OliveM 1000 Is For:

• DIY formulators making creams and lotions
• Emulsions that need better structure, texture, and skin feel
• Makers looking for an olive oil-derived emulsifier for oil-in-water systems

OliveM 1000 Is Not For:

• Anhydrous products with no water phase
• Clear water-only sprays
• Use as a finished skincare product straight from the pack

• As an Emulsifier: Use at 2% to 8% in the oil phase, heat with your oils, then emulsify with the heated water phase.
• As a Texture Builder: Pair it with suitable oils and fatty ingredients when you want a richer, more cushioned cream or lotion texture.
• Processing Tip: Keep the total oil phase at or below 25% for more reliable stability.
• Processing Tip: If your formula contains water-soluble additives that may affect stability, add them during cool-down where possible and run a small test batch first.

• For external cosmetic formulation use only
• Avoid inhaling dust from flakes
• Avoid contact with eyes
• Keep out of reach of children and pets
• Store sealed in a cool, dry place away from heat and direct sunlight

Q: Can OliveM 1000 be used on its own as the only emulsifier?
A: It is commonly used as a co-emulsifier to improve texture and skin feel, though it can also form part of a full emulsifier system depending on the formula.

Q: Is it suitable for oil-in-water emulsions only?
A: Yes. It is intended for oil-in-water creams and lotions rather than water-in-oil systems.

Q: Why should I keep the oil phase at or below 25%?
A: That guideline helps support emulsion stability and reduces the chance of separation in richer formulas.
