Olivoil Fruttoside BAS

Olivoil Fruttoside is a vegetable derived surfactant complex able to build dermo-compatible cleansers and rinse off products, working as a new generation “surf-active”. It is composed of active ingredients as olive oil fatty acids (containing skin friendly unsaturated fatty acids, among which oleic and linoleic acid) oat aminoacids and fructose, able to provide a gentle and effective cleansing action, skin emolliency and barrier function restoring to promote a long lasting hydration and keep the homeostasis of the hydrolipidic film, even when used in presence of sulfates/sulfonates. Specific for hair conditioning, softening and shining. Olivoil surfactants can be used both as primary and secondary surfactants and are ideal for the development of transparent end-products for sensitive skin, baby care, hair care and many other rinse-off applications, with an important impact on eco-sustainability given by their water saving features related to their rinsing off ease.
