Phytowax® Olive 18L 57 BIO

Hydrogenated Olive Oil Stearyl Esters. Phytowax® Olive 18L 57 BIO by Sophim is an oil-free, non-greasy, vegetable-based emollient wax and texturizing agent. It is less occlusive than other waxes and offers silky and velvety feel. It penetrates very easily into the epidermis and helps to nourish the skin. It shows good stability against oxidation and unique sensory properties. It melts at 57°C for structured emulsions and moisturizing make-up. It helps to restore lipids of the skin thanks to their composition in liquid wax-esters similar to stratum corneum. It can enhance the texture, consistency and creaminess of the formulas. It increases the viscosity of the finished product without soap effect. It provides body and structure to formulations while bringing them smoothness, melting effect and pleasure. It is an excellent substitute for animal waxes (beeswax) or petroleum waxes (ozokerit, microcrystallin, paraffin wax). Phytowax® Olive 18L 57 BIO is used in make-up, face-, body- and hair care formulations. The grade is approved by COSMOS and China. The shelf life of the product is 2 years.
