Glyceryl Dioleate
Glyceryl dioleate
Glyceryl Dioleate combines glycerin with two molecules of plant-derived oleic acid. It has a fluid, oily texture and is related to the natural lipids found in the skin.
It works as an emollient: it softens, smooths and nourishes the epidermis and helps reduce water loss. It also supports the blending of oil-based ingredients, which makes it a great fit for cleansing oils. You'll find it in our body lotions, hand creams, lip balms, lip scrub and makeup removing oils.
Did you know?: Oleic acid owes its name to the Latin word "oleum", meaning olive oil - it is olive oil's main fatty acid.
