Olivoil Avenate FOKSNaB

Olivoil Avenate FOKSNaB is a paraben-free, vegetable derived anionic surfactant able to build dermocompatible 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) and oat polypeptides (reference active for soothing applications and sensitive skin), 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. Olivoil surfactants can be used both as primary and secondary surfactants (benefits were proven even at very low amount of use, starting from 2%) and are ideal for the development of transparent end-products for sensitive skin, baby care, hair care and many other rinse-off applications.
