Refined olive oil for emolliency, slip and conditioning; blend for feel; add in oil phase.
NaturalProfile™ special grade oil that contain suitable fatty acid profile for skin
Olive Oil (Refined) is a cosmetic‑grade vegetable oil rich in oleic and linoleic acids with natural squalene and polyphenols. The refined grade offers a lighter odor and color with improved batch‑to‑batch stability.
Used as an emollient and mild occlusive, it improves slip and spread in creams, balms and makeup removers and provides conditioning glide for scalp/hair and massage blends.
High oleic content gives a richer, more cushiony skin feel; many formulators blend with lighter, linoleic‑rich oils to tune absorption and after‑feel.
