About Oleic Acid

Oleic Acid is an unsaturated fatty acid.[1] In cosmetics, it is used to reduce friction on the skin or hair and add a smooth feel, and to create emulsified formulas in which water and oil are evenly mixed.[3] It is described as a colorless to pale yellow liquid, so the order and temperature used when mixing it with other liquid ingredients affect the uniformity of the finished product.[2]
