Nautica OliveM 1000

<p>
Nautica OliveM 1000 is a naturally derived emulsifier and thickener used to create oil-in-water emulsions with a
smooth, elegant skin feel. Derived from olive oil, it is especially popular in moisturising creams, night creams, and
softer-feeling lotions where a more refined finish is wanted. It is best used as a co-emulsifier and is valued for its
broad compatibility across a wide pH range and many cosmetic ingredients. This is a cosmetic raw material for
formulation use, not a finished product.
</p>
<p>
♡ Why we love it: OliveM 1000 is a lovely option for formulators who want a more natural-leaning emulsifier with a
beautiful finished feel on the skin. It is especially appealing in moisturising products where texture and skin
comfort matter just as much as stability.
