Oliv-wax LQC is a stabiliser for Lotions and Creams and a Liquid Crystal Promoter derived from Olive Oil fatty acids. It is designed to stabilise oil in water emulsions while enhancing the texture and feel in application. Formulations with Oliv-Wax LQC exhibit enriched texture without greasiness or tackiness and no “whitening effect” is seen upon application.
The unique “crystal network” is similar to human skin lipids and promotes excellent delivery to skin. Unlike many other waxy lipids (fats), Oliv-wax LQC contributes a light silky-smooth feel along with stabilisation.
Oliv-wax LQC is recommended for inclusion in skin care creams and lotions, foundation, lipsticks and lip balms, skin care serums, and sunscreens. Oliv-Wax LQC is stable to oxidation, is odourless and colourless.
Tested Clinically, Oliv-Wax LQC has been demonstrated to be hypoallergenic and an excellent choice for sensitive and reactive skin. Never tested on animals, Oliv-Wax LQC is completely biodegradable and compatible with most cosmetic ingredients.
Oliv-Wax LQC provides the final product with sebum-control benefits and provides skin-hydration and a unique texture due to the high water content of the liquid crystal structure. It can enhance the efficacy of make-up removing formulations when compared with standard oil-in-water emulsions.
