Dermaskin Labs Olive 1000 Plant-Based Emulsifier Wax — 4 oz, ECOCERT PEG-Free for Silky Creams & Conditioners

Olive 1000 is a plant-derived emulsifier (Cetearyl Olivate, Sorbitan Olivate) that creates stable, silky oil-in-water creams and conditioners while meeting ECOCERT COSMOS standards.

Dermaskin Labs Olive 1000 is a PEG-free, olive-oil-derived emulsifying wax designed for formulators who want a natural, skin-friendly emulsifier for DIY and small-batch skincare or haircare. Presented in a 4 oz supply, this ingredient blends readily into oil phases to form liquid-crystal structures that mimic skin lipids, improving texture, spreadability and long-term stability in creams, lotions, serums and conditioners.

How does Olive 1000 improve cream and lotion texture?

Olive 1000 produces an elegant, non-greasy after-feel by forming lamellar (liquid-crystal) structures that resemble the skin’s own lipid layers. This structure helps creams feel smoother, absorb well, and maintain a pleasant sensory profile preferred by consumers.

• Creates silky, light textures without heavy residue
• Supports stable oil-in-water emulsions for extended shelf life
• Works well as the primary emulsifier or a co-emulsifier at low concentrations

What are the recommended usage rates and processing steps?

Typical inclusion rates are 2–8% when Olive 1000 is used as the main emulsifier; it can also be used at 0.5–2% as a co-emulsifier to enhance texture. It melts around 70°C and should be incorporated into the oil phase, then combined with the heated water phase and homogenized for best results.

• Use 2–8% in oil phase, or 0.5–2% as a co-emulsifier
• Melt near 70°C, mix with oils and active lipophiles, then blend into heated water phase
• Cool under stirring to form liquid-crystal networks for improved stability

Can I use Olive 1000 in hair formulations as well as skincare?

Yes — Olive 1000 is suitable for both hair and skin products. In hair formulas it functions well in rinse-off conditioners and leave-ins, improving wet combability and providing a smooth, conditioned feel when combined with cationic ingredients or natural oils.

• Effective in crème rinses, leave-in conditioners and styling creams
• Compatible with cationic conditioning agents and natural oils
• Helps improve detangling and manageability in hair formulations

Why choose Olive 1000 for natural or certified formulations?

Olive 1000 is ECOCERT COSMOS validated and PEG-free, making it a fitting choice for clean, vegan and natural beauty lines. Its origin from olive fatty acids and its skin-like lipid behavior make it attractive for brands seeking plant-based, certification-friendly emulsifiers.

• ECOCERT and COSMOS validated for natural/organic claims
• Plant-derived (olive fatty acid based) and PEG-free
• Suitable for vegan, clean-label product lines

Who is this for: Dermaskin Labs Olive 1000 is aimed at indie formulators, small skincare and haircare brands, DIY enthusiasts, and cosmetic chemists who want a reliable, natural emulsifier with certification-friendly credentials. It suits anyone developing face and body creams, serums, lotions, conditioners or hybrid products that prioritize silky sensory feel, stable emulsions and a clean ingredient list without PEGs. If you need precise usage, stability guidance or pairing suggestions for active ingredients, this 4 oz package provides enough material for trial batches and iteration in laboratory or kitchen-scale R&D.
