Sorbitan olivate is a surfactant based on olive oil and sorbitol.
An ester that comes from Cetearyl alcohol and the fatty acids of olive oil.
Sorbitan olivate often comes to the formula coupled with Sorbitan Olivate as the two together form the well-known, natural emulsifier trade named Olivem 1000.
Other than helping oil and water to blend, the main thing of Olivem 1000 is generating liquid crystal structures that are similar to the lipid structures of the stratum corneum (the outermost layer of the skin).
Thanks to this, Sorbitan olivate doubles as an active ingredient with significant moisturizing, barrier-repairing and soothing properties.

Sorbitan olivate is biodegradable, non-toxic and a non-irritant.
Sorbitan olivates are esters made from the fatty acids of olive oil combined with cetearyl alcohol (a plant-derived emulsifier) or sorbitol (a plant-derived thickener).
The resulting compound is highly emulsifying which means it helps water and oil-based ingredients to mix well.
Sorbitan olivates are very important to Lush, as they allow the use of many fresh and natural ingredients, such as vegetable oils and butters, flower infusions and fruit juices. When Lush inventors create a product, they choose from a range of different emulsifying materials according to the textures and effects they want to achieve, while keeping in mind that the products must be pleasant to use.

Sorbitan Olivate and Cetearyl Olivate, also extracted from olive oil, produce a vegetable emulsifier that is highly compatible with our skin and rapidly absorbed, whilst also giving the creams a silky touch.
The emulsions obtained from these two olive oil derivatives have the property of creating a lattice structure of liquid crystals, which are capable of retaining 70% of intralaminar water absorption. When applying the cream on the skin, this structure is broken down, instantly giving the skin an extraordinary hydration.
At the same time, and due to its composition, it retains moisture on the skin, thus achieving both short-term and long-term hydration.
Sorbitan olivate is an emulsifier formulated from a mixture of fatty acids extracted from olive oil and sugar from sorbitol.
