{"product_id":"olivem-900-peg-free-co-emulsifier","title":"Essentially Natural OliveM 900","description":"\u003cp\u003eOliveM 900 is a PEG-free co-emulsifier based on Sorbitan Olivate, used in cosmetic formulations where structure, powder wetting, and rich emollient support are needed. It comes as an ivory waxy solid in flake form and is especially useful in water-in-oil and water-in-silicone style systems, lipogels, and selected emulsified products. It is not a finished emulsifier blend on its own in every application, but a versatile formulation ingredient that helps build texture and improve product performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e♡ Why we love it: It is a smart, flexible workhorse for formulators who want more control over texture and oil-phase performance. We chose to offer it because it supports PEG-free formulation design, works across several product types, and gives elegant structure without pushing a formula in a heavy or fussy direction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Properties of OliveM 900\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eINCI Name: Sorbitan Olivate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForm: Waxy solid flakes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTypical Usage Rate: 1 - 10%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eCOSMOS Approved\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolubility: Oil phase ingredient\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable For: Cosmetic Use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat is OliveM 900 Used For\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWater-in-oil emulsions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWater-in-silicone style systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLipogels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePowder wetting and pigment dispersion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSun care formulations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFoundations and colour cosmetics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRicher texture building in the oil phase\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWho is OliveM 900 For\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOlivem 900 Is For:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormulators building PEG-free emulsions and structured oil systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMakers working with pigments, powders, or richer sun care textures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduct developers who want more control over viscosity and oil phase feel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOlivem 900 Is Not For:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWater-only formulations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse as a finished product on its own\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMakers looking for a simple water-soluble ingredient\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow To Use OliveM 900\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAs a Co-Emulsifier: Add to the oil phase of suitable emulsions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAs a Powder Dispersant: Use where improved wetting and dispersion of pigments or powders is needed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAs a Lipogel Ingredient: Incorporate into the oil phase and heat until fully melted and uniform.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eOliveM 900 Safety Instructions\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor external use only; do not ingest.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvoid contact with eyes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMelt with care and avoid overheating.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeep tightly sealed when not in use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStore in a cool, dry place away from contamination.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFAQs\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ: Is OliveM 900 water soluble? \u003cbr\u003eA: No. It is used as an oil phase ingredient in cosmetic formulations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ: What makes OliveM 900 useful in formulation? \u003cbr\u003eA: It helps build structure, supports emulsification, and improves the handling of powders and pigments in suitable systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ: Can it be used in colour cosmetics? \u003cbr\u003eA: Yes.
