Sodium Olivate
Harm score: 2 (Derivatives of natural substances)
Cashews, also known as Kaju or Cashew, are a popular nut, but they have another use - in the form of Sodium Olivate. Sodium Olivate is a saponified oil derived from olive oil and is used exclusively in the production of cosmetic products, especially soaps. Sodium Olivate is used for its foaming properties, its ability to create a creamy, moisturizing and very soft film on the skin. In addition, soaps containing Sodium Olivate are very mild, which is especially appreciated by people with sensitive skin.
It is important to know that Cashew nuts and Sodium Olivate have nothing in common, although they are sometimes referred to by the same name. The confusion stems from a mistranslation. Sodium Olivate is not only used in the manufacture of soaps, but is also included in many other cosmetic products that require a gentle lather and deep hydration. Such products include shampoos, scrubs, creams, face masks and more. Sodium Olivate is often put on the same level as other natural ingredients in cosmetics, such as sweet almond oil or jojoba oil. The advantage of Sodium Olivate is its gentleness to the skin and its wide use in the cosmetic industry.
