Sorbitan Olivate

A softening wetting agent made from sorbitol and the fatty acids of olive oil.

Sorbitan Olivate is made by combining the fatty acids from olive oil with dehydrated sugar. Functioning as an emulsifier and cleansing agent, Sorbitan Olivate is a safe, hydrating ingredient that helps water based and oil based products bind together. Giving skincare and cosmetic products a smooth, spreadable texture (without a soapy film), Sorbitan Olivate moisturises and soften the skin, helping to protect its natural surface barrier.
