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 skin’s lipids, and reduces irritation from stronger surfactants, making it ideal for sensitive skin.
