DESCRIPTION
Olive Carrier Oil – Pomace Grade – RDW is extracted from the residual olive mash left after the first cold pressing of Olea europaea fruits. This mixture includes skins, pulp, seeds, and stems. Because this remaining oil cannot be extracted through mechanical pressing alone, it undergoes solvent extraction and refining processes to produce a pale yellow to greenish yellow oil with minimal odor.
The Pomace Grade variety of Olive Oil is known for its excellent saponification properties that make it a suitable base oil in soap making. Its fatty acid profile, particularly its oleic acid content, supports skin conditioning and contributes to the formation of creamy, stable lathers in solid cleansing products.
For product developers, Olive Pomace Grade Oil offers a practical solution for high-volume manufacturing due to its neutral scent and stable composition. Due to its refinement, this oil is compatible with a wide range of essential oils, botanical extracts, and active ingredients across hair care, body care, and cleansing formulations.
DIRECTIONS AND SUGGESTED USAGE
- Soap Manufacturing: Maximize yield, lather, and performance in bar soap formulations by using Olive Oil – Pomace Grade at 20–50% as a base oil.
- Body and Shower Products: Add 3–10% of Olive Carrier Oil – Pomace Grade to body washes, scrubs, and cleansing oils to enhance emollience and improve glide.
- Hair Conditioners and Masks: The Pomace Grade variety of Olive Carrier Oil can be included in deep conditioning treatments or rinse-off conditioners at 2–6% to improve hair softness and reduce friction.
- Massage and Body Oils: Blend 30–50% Olive Pomace Grade Oil with other carrier oils like Grapeseed or Sunflower for massage oils that provide smooth slip with a slightly thicker texture.
