Olivoil Glutamate SP, a "surf-active," uniquely fuses emulsifier and active ingredient properties. Derived from olive oil fatty acids and sugar beet glutamic acid, it's 100% vegetable-based, with over 90% natural content (ISO 16128). Colorless, odorless, and eco-approved, it forms an ideal sulfate-free base for emulsions in cold and/or hot process, rinse-out formulations with lamellar system and mild cleansers.
Robust Sustainability Profile
Its robust sustainability profile is linked to its olive oil derivation and includes:
• Upcycling: the product comes from non-edible lampante olive oil, a fraction with high acidity.
• Olive trees are perennial crops, capturing significantly more CO2 than annual plants, requiring less water and agrochemicals; the also are non-GMO and extracted through mechanical pressing.
• Water saving: Rinses with less water compared to traditional surfactants.
• Biodegradability: It is readily biodegradable and non-persistent in water, sediment, or soil.
On Trend with Social Media
Olivoil Glutamate SP aligns perfectly with key social media beauty trends:
• #EverythingShower: Supports this holistic self-care trend, popular on TikTok and Instagram with over 170 million views, via its clean origin, versatility, and sensory pleasure-boosting capabilities.
When used in emulsions, it enables cold process formulation, stabilizes challenging and unstable systems, incorporates significant amount of vegetable oils and silicone, and develops a broad range of leave-on and rinse-out products.
When used in cleansers, it promotes superior Hedonism scores and excels in foam quality, including quantity, creaminess, and attractiveness.
• #Skinimalism: Aids this simplicity-focused trend, promoting fewer products without compromising performance. It offers unique functional and sensory benefits in simple formulations.
Delivers Crucial Skin and Hair Benefits
Functionally, Olivoil Glutamate SP offers significant skin and hair benefits:
• Skin: Boosts hydration, showing the highest hydration score among tested products, and reduces transepidermal water loss (TEWL), enhancing skin barrier integrity.
• Hair: Improves hair shine, uniquely reduces frizz (the only tested surfactant to do so), and conditions the hair shaft. It restores hair hydrophobicity, unlike sulfate-based washes that can increase static charges.
Supports Diverse Product Forms
It enables diverse product development:
• Traditional: Micellar systems for transparent or opaque cleansers, micellar waters, and shampoos.
• Innovative: Lamellar systems allow high oil incorporation into cleansers or emulsions, acting as a time-controlled delivery system. These systems offer higher viscosity, easy pouring, and improved dermocompatibility, greatly supporting rinse-off and rinse-out products.
