Fision® EcoSil: Lightweight Olive-Derived Emollient for Smooth, Silicone-Free Formulations
Fision® EcoSil is a natural, lightweight emollient blend made from olives, designed to offer a smooth, silky feel in both skincare and haircare applications. Composed of over 90% Hydrogenated Ethylhexyl Olivate and less than 10% Hydrogenated Olive Oil Unsaponifiables, Fision® EcoSil delivers refined texture, fast absorption, and clean beauty compatibility.
Often used as a plant-based alternative to silicones like cyclomethicone, Fision® EcoSil helps reduce greasiness, improve slip, and eliminate the soaping effect in emulsions. It’s a versatile ingredient that adds elegance and softness to facial oils, balms, conditioners, and lotions without feeling heavy or greasy.
