Lush UK* purchases this ingredient from Italy. Cetearyl olivate and sorbitan olivate are esters made from the fatty acids of olive oil combined with <a href="https://www.lush.com/%5Bchannel%5D/%5Blanguage%5D/i/cetearyl-alcohol">cetearyl alcohol</a> (a plant-derived emulsifier) or <a href="https://www.lush.com/%5Bchannel%5D/%5Blanguage%5D/i/sorbitol">sorbitol</a> (a plant-derived thickener).

<i>*With several manufacturing sites across the globe, this information may vary depending on where your Lush products were made.</i>

Emulsifiers are very important to Lush, as they allow the use of many fresh and natural ingredients, such as vegetable oils and butters, flower infusions and fruit juices. When Lush inventors create a product, they choose from a range of different emulsifying materials according to the textures and effects they want to achieve, while keeping in mind that the products must be pleasant to use. Cetearyl olivate &amp; sorbitan olivate, for instance, is ideal for use in bodycare as it is moisturising without leaving a sticky feeling on the skin.
