Olus Oil

Olus Oil is a refined blend of vegetable oils used as an emollient and skin-conditioning agent in cosmetics.

What it is

Olus Oil is the INCI name for a mixture of plant-derived oils that has been refined for cosmetic use, often as a defined triglyceride blend with a light, non-greasy feel. It conditions and softens skin and can act as a carrier for oil-soluble ingredients. In sunscreens it contributes to emolliency and helps disperse the oil phase.

Safety & warnings

Refined vegetable oil blends are generally well tolerated. Because Olus Oil is a non-specific blend, its exact fatty-acid profile and richness can vary by supplier, so feel and any tendency toward heaviness on acne-prone skin may differ between products.

Origin & sourcing

Natural origin. It is a blend of vegetable (plant) oils, typically refined and standardized for use in cosmetic formulations.
