Olive oil, which deeply penetrates the skin surface, provides the ultimate in moisture and creates the soft, smooth, and seriously supple skin springtime dictates. With so many benefits, it’s no wonder olive oil-based skincare products are garnering rave reviews and flying off the shelves.

» Cetaphil Hydrating Night Cream 1.7 oz
Cetaphil has wooed consumers with innovative skincare products since 1947 and it’s easy to see why.

Ingredients like Olivatis™ emulsifiers are thus incredibly useful and valuable to formulators given the job of re-formulating existing products or coming up with new ones to take advantage of consumer desire for natural, olive oil-based skincare items.
Olive oil’s combination of antioxidants and natural acids that strengthen the skin’s native barriers make it a potent means of giving skin the hydration it craves. And skincare consumers the products they demand.
