Olus Oil

Olus oil is a blend of natural triglycerides from 100 % vegetable origin. It is a multifunctional cream base with similar properties (stability against oxidation, occlusivity & trans-epidermal water loss [TEWL]) than conventional petrolatum. Almost colourless and odourless.

Olus Oil

Made from a blend of natural triglycerides of pure vegetable origin, Olus Oil is processed according to a patented formulation to achieve its specific characteristics. Due to its high occlusivity, remarkable stability against oxidation, spreadability and odourlessness, Olus Oil has similar properties such as conventional petrolatum.

Although traditionally petrolatum has been used in more heavy emulsions that are highly resistant and perceptible on the skin, Olus Oil also enables to produce light emulsions while maintaining the protection desired.
