Olive

Cetearyl Olivate, Sorbitan Olivate

Olive wax is produced from cold pressed olive oil. The fatty acids from the olive oil are blended with natural fatty alcohols and sugar alcohol to from liquid crystal structures that are very similar to the lipids of the epidermal layer of the skin. 

In Purity Cleanser Concentrate it helps the oils in the cleanser to mix well with water, ensuring the cleanser glides smoothly and comfortably across the skin and is easily rinsed off.

A COSMOS approved natural ingredient, clinical tests, show that the complex combination of fatty acids not only reduces trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL), but that it is also compatible with the skin's microbiota ecosystem, as a microbiome-friendly ingredient it preserves the skin’s cutaneous microbiota composition and biodiversity, which in turn supports skin barrier function.
