OLEAMULS® WS is a 100% plant-derived hydrosolution for cosmetic use, designed to deliver hydration and lipid replenishment in water-based formulations. It is obtained through the esterification of olive oil fatty acids, upcycled from non-edible vegetal waste from olive oil production, with vegetable polyglycerol.

Its amphiphilic structure allows the integration of lipidic components into aqueous systems, helping to reinforce the skin’s hydrolipidic film and improve water retention.

OLEAMULS® WS primarily acts as a hydrating agent, enhancing skin moisture levels while reducing transepidermal water loss (TEWL), leaving the skin feeling fresh, soft and comfortable after application. In addition, it provides an effective refatting action, helping to restore skin softness and counterbalance the drying effect of cleansing systems.

Derived from food-grade ingredients, OLEAMULS® WS shows excellent skin and oral compatibility.

Efficacy tests show improved hydrolipidic film defenses resulting in decreased TEWL and increased hydration, leaving a pleasant sensation of freshness on the skin. 2% OLEAMULS® WS significantly decreased TEWL while maintaining hydration at all time point. Placebo Body wash instead shows an increase in TEWL and a decrease in hydration at all times.
