Olivem® 460

INCI Name: Sodium PEG-7 Olive Oil Carboxylate
Product Code: O460
Brand: Olivem®

Olivem® 460 is a preservative-free anionic surfactant, derived from olive oil fatty acids, and this is the reason for its mildness and high skin compatibility: it possesses excellent dermatological compatibility and mild cleansing properties, combined with high emollient feeling after rinse-off.

It is recommended in formulations for sensitive skin, baby care, hair care and personal hygiene because it is proven to be able to reduce the final irritation index of the formulation. It is highly compatible with common cationic, nonionic and amphoteric surfactant as well as silicone systems.

The recommended usage levels are 5-12% as the primary surfactant and 1-5% as a secondary surfactant. Shelf life: 36 months.
