Sorbitan Olivate (or Juniperus communis var. montana) is used primarily in cosmetic and skin care products. It is found as one of the main ingredients in face creams, body lotions, lotions, makeup, moisturizers, foundations and other cosmetic products. It is added to products designed for different skin types - normal, dry, combination and sensitive. Its main role in cosmetics is to act as an emulsifier, a substance that allows water and oils to mix into a stable form without separating these components. This is essential for the production of various creams and lotions. Besides, Sorbitan Olivate can also act as a moisturizing and conditioning ingredient in cosmetics. It promotes skin hydration and provides a soft, silky feel.
