  • Hypoallergenic tested creams
  • Make-up: mascara, creamy foundations and eye-liners
  • Sun-screen and after-sun products

  • Hair conditioning creams
  • Self tanning products

Formulating Notes
While an HLB value has been provided to us by the manufacturer, Olivem 1000’s chemistry does not really work based on the HLB system. It’s emulsification mechanism is based on liquid crystal formation and therefore the HLB value is not so critical for this self-emulsifier.

Typical usage rate as a sole emulsifier:

  • Low Viscosity (serums and lotions): 1.5 – 3%
  • High Viscosity (lotions and creams): 3 – 8%

Appearance:  Off White Flakes

Solubility:  Soluble in oil

SAP Value:  90-120

pH (sol 15%):  5-7

HLB:  9
