What is it?
Lauryl Olivate is an emollient derived from natural sources, specifically a combination of fatty alcohol (lauryl alcohol) and the ester of olive oil fatty acids. It is used in skincare for its moisturizing and skin-softening properties. Lauryl Olivate is known for its ability to provide a light, non-greasy feel while contributing to the texture and absorption of skincare formulations.
Where does it come from?
Lauryl Olivate is created through the esterification process of lauryl alcohol, which is typically derived from coconut oil, and olive oil fatty acids. This combination harnesses the moisturizing qualities of olive oil and the lightweight texture of lauryl alcohol, making it a versatile ingredient in skincare formulations.
