Octyldodecanol helps to form emulsions and prevent an emulsion from separating into its oil and liquid components. It also reduces the tendency of finished products to generate foam when shaken.use it in Care and styling products as moisturizer and emollient as it makes the hair feel soft.
Oenothera Biennis (Evening Primrose) Seed Extract is known to infuse the skin with moisture and imbue it with elasticity, leaving it radiant and translucent.We use it in our Care and styling products as it is known to balance the scalp's natural oils, which helps to reduce and prevent dandruff.It also helps to strengthen the hair against damages caused by environmental conditions such as harsh weather, heat and UV radiation.
Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil is meant to increase the smoothness of hair, reduce tangles and surface roughness.
Oleic Acid is used to give the product, e.g. color cream its consistency. Its inclusion supports mixability of the color cream and the developer. Depending upon how much is used and what other ingredients are present, it also can be used to create gel-like consistencies. Oleic Acid is also partly responsible for delivering dye molecules into the hair fiber.
Oleth-10 Phosphate is a versatile compound used to clean skin and hair by helping water to mix with oil and dirt so that they can be rinsed away. It also helps to form emulsions by reducing the surface tension of formulas and helps ingredients to dissolve in liquids in which they would not normally dissolve.
Oleth-3 helps to form emulsions by reducing the surface tension of the substances to be emulsified and helps to dissolve in liquids in which they would not normally dissolve.
Oleth-5 is in our products to clean scalp and hair by helping water to mix with oil and dirt so that they can be rinsed away. Oleth-5 also helps to form emulsions by reducing the surface tension of the substances to be emulsified and help ingredients to dissolve in liquids.
Oleyl Alcohol helps to form emulsions and prevent an emulsion from separating into its oil and liquid components. It also reduce the tendency of finished products to generate foam when shaken.In Hair care formulations it acts as a lubricant on the hair surface, hence it helps to reduce tangles and roughness and improves softness and smoothness.

Ozokerite and other waxes thicken the lipid (oil) portion of cosmetics and personal care products and help to keep emulsions from separating into their oil and liquid components. These waxes lessen the brittleness of stick products (i.e. lipsticks). We use Ozokerite in Styling products as it also regulates formulation viscosity, has suspension properties, and gives products stability.
