Sorbitan Olivate

What it is
Sorbitan olivate is an olive-derived ingredient used to help the water- and oil-based ingredients in a moisturizer blend smoothly together. It helps create the soft, creamy texture that makes our creams feel elegant on the skin.

Why we use it
We use sorbitan olivate to help keep our formulas smooth, stable, and easy to spread. It works alongside cetearyl olivate to create a moisturizer that feels nourishing without feeling greasy or heavy.

Why it's considered safe

• Used in cosmetic creams and lotions as an emulsifying ingredient

• Reviewed for cosmetic safety as part of the sorbitan ester family

• Considered safe as used in cosmetic formulations

Good to know
Some ingredients are included less for what you notice on the label and more for how beautifully the finished product performs. Sorbitan olivate helps our formulas stay creamy and consistent while allowing their hydrating and nourishing ingredients to work together.

The Lotus Standard
We chose sorbitan olivate because every part of a formula matters. It helps give our creams the smooth, comfortable texture that makes daily skincare feel effortless.
