OLIVE OIL AMINOPROPANEDIOL ESTERS

Description

Olive Oil Aminopropanediol Esters are innovative derivatives of olive oil, created through the esterification of olive oil fatty acids with aminopropanediol. This process yields a multifunctional ingredient that combines the nourishing properties of olive oil with enhanced stability and skin compatibility.

These esters exhibit excellent emollient properties, providing deep moisturization without the greasy feel often associated with traditional oils. They form a protective barrier on the skin, reducing transepidermal water loss and improving skin hydration. The aminopropanediol component contributes to improved spreadability and a light, silky texture.

In skincare formulations, Olive Oil Aminopropanediol Esters demonstrate superior oxidative stability compared to unmodified olive oil, extending product shelf life. They are particularly beneficial in anti-aging products due to their ability to support skin elasticity and smoothness. These esters also show potential in hair care applications, offering conditioning benefits without weighing down the hair.

The ingredient is compatible with a wide range of cosmetic formulations and can be used in lotions, creams, serums, and hair conditioners. It is generally well-tolerated by most skin types and can be particularly beneficial for dry or mature skin.
