The chemical formula of Oleic Acid is C₁₈H₃₄O₂.

What is OLEIC ACID used for?

Oleic Acid is quite a popular and effective ingredient in the world of cosmetics. It serves many different functions and enriches formulations with its beneficial properties.

Skin care: It serves as an excellent cleansing agent and emollient, helping to moisturize and soften the surface. It is commonly used in creams, lotions, and serums to enhance skin hydration and improve the texture. Oleic Acid's ability to penetrate the skin deeply makes it valuable in anti-aging products, as it can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
Hair care: It works as a conditioning agent, providing smoothness and manageability to the hair. It helps to seal moisture in the hair shaft, preventing dryness and frizz. It is often found in hair conditioners, leave-in treatments, and hair serums to improve hair texture and shine
Cosmetic products: It is a popular ingredient for creating desirable textures and consistencies in cosmetic formulations. It contributes to the smoothness and spreadability of products such as foundations, lipsticks, and creams. Oleic Acid can also function as a solubilizer, helping to dissolve certain ingredients and enhance the overall formulation stability

Origin

Oleic Acid is primarily obtained through the hydrolysis or saponification of natural oils that contain high levels of oleic acid, such as olive oil or sunflower oil. This process involves breaking down the triglyceride molecules in the oil into their fatty acid components, with oleic acid being one of the major constituents. The resulting oleic acid is then refined and purified for use in cosmetic and skincare formulations.
