Abstract: The use of—olive-oil—derived compounds as surfactants is described, wherein such olive-oil-derived compounds are obtained by olive oil transesterification. Preferably, such compounds are a mixture-composed of an emollient and of anionic surfactants. As an emollient a product obtained via transesterification of olive oil with glycerine derivatives is preferably used most preferably olive oil PEG-7 esters, whereas the anionic surfactant is obtained from the emollient by causing it to react with monochloroacetic acid most preferably Na PEG-7 olive oil Carboxylate.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a natural ethylene oxide-free emulsifier composed of olive oil, the fatty acid of which have been esterified, preferably with sorbitol and/or cetyl stearyl alcohol. The present invention also relates to cosmetics containing, as an emulsifier, an emulsifier as described above, as well as a method for manufacturing such a product for cosmetic use.

Abstract: A natural emulsifier is described, which consists of fat acids of olive oil esterified with 6 mol ethoxylated cetyl stearyl alcohol. Such an emulsifier is particularly suitable for the cosmetic field.

Abstract: The use of an extract from the leaves of Olea Europea as an antiradical. Preferably, the extract is added to a preparation wherein the concentration of the extract does not exceed 0.5% by weight. The extract can be used both for preparing cosmetic products, such as cosmetic creams—particularly sun protection creams—and for preparing alimentary products—particularly dietetic products.
