FunctionEmulsifier

What it is — Cetearyl Olivate (INCI: Cetearyl Olivate) is an olive-derived emulsifier, usually paired with Sorbitan Olivate.

What it does — It is commonly used to blend oil and water into a stable, uniform formula and to lend a soft, skin-friendly texture.

Typical use — It appears in creams, lotions and milks, particularly in naturally positioned emulsions, where it holds the phases together.

Who it suits / good to know — Present at supporting levels rather than as an active, and generally low-irritation. It is often chosen for gentle, barrier-friendly moisturizers.

Safety — DHALIORA grades it low risk in its EWG-style, ingredient-by-ingredient review. This reflects the ingredient in general and is not medical advice; patch-test if your skin is easily irritated.
