why we use olive oil peg-7 esters

The Basics

Olive Oil PEG-7 Esters is a multifunctional ingredient that combines the nourishing benefits of olive oil with improved water compatibility. It acts as an emollient, providing a silky, lightweight feel while conditioning the skin without greasiness. Its surfactant properties allow for gentle cleansing, making it effective in rinse-off products without disrupting skin hydration.

As a solubiliser, it helps disperse essential oils and lipophilic actives in water-based formulations, enhancing stability and performance. Commonly used in cleansers, emulsions, and micellar waters, it improves texture, balances the skinโ€™s lipids, and reduces irritation from stronger surfactants, making it ideal for sensitive skin.
