Technical Profile & Formulation Guide for Olivsperse Yellow IO

Streamline Production with Olivsperse™ Technology

Olivsperse Yellow IO is a ready-to-use dispersion of Yellow Iron Oxide (CI 77492) in Octyldodecyl Oleate, an ester derived from natural olive oil. By delivering the pigment pre-dispersed, it removes the labor- and energy-intensive grinding step typical of powdered pigments. This improves batch-to-batch consistency, shortens processing time, and ensures uniform, streak-free color distribution in finished formulas.

Superior Formulation Feel & Natural Compatibility

Octyldodecyl Oleate provides notable sensory and compatibility advantages. Highly miscible with natural oils and esters, it spreads smoothly and absorbs quickly to deliver a soft, non-greasy skin feel. This allows formulators to create high-performance complexion products—foundations, concealers, and tinted skincare—that feel light, comfortable, and elegant on the skin while maintaining excellent color uniformity.
