Potassium olivate

Other names: Olive oil potassium salt fatty acids

Harm score: 2 (Derivatives of natural substances)


Potassium olivate is a chemical that is also known as Olive oil potassium salt fatty acids. It is a type of salt that is made up of acids found in olive oil and potassium. It is produced from olive oil by saponification - a reaction between the oil and potassium hydroxide. This process produces potash (potassium salt), which is soluble in water and produces foam. Potassium olivate is therefore a natural type of soap that is easily biodegradable and is considered environmentally friendly.

Potassium olivate is often used in cosmetic and hygiene products, especially in products designed for cleaning and skin care. It is the main ingredient in traditional Marseille soaps. Due to its cleansing properties, it is widely used in many soaps and shampoos. It is also a component of many shaving, hair removal and other cosmetic products. It also has the advantage of being suitable for sensitive skin and does not produce toxic fumes. In pharmaceutical production, it is used in some ointments and creams. In veterinary medicine, it is used in the manufacture of special shampoos for animals.
