About Potassium Oleate

Potassium Oleate is primarily the potassium salt of oleic acid.[1] Its solubility and charge state vary depending on the components forming the salt and the acidity of the formulation, which also affects how it interacts with other raw materials. In cosmetics, it is used to create emulsified formulations in which water and oil are evenly mixed, and to lower surface tension so raw materials can wet, mix, and spread evenly.[2]
