About
A specialty amphiphilic emollient and emulsifier derived from olive oil fatty acids and glutamic acid, used in high-end cosmetic formulations for its skin-compatible profile, though it has limited dedicated toxicological safety data.
BIS-C24-28 Hydroxyalkyl Olivoyl Glutamate is a bis-alkyl glutamate ester derived from olive oil fatty acids (olivoyl) and glutamic acid. Listed in CosIng with emulsifying and skin-conditioning functions. The ingredient's olive oil origin provides inherent skin lipid compatibility, and the glutamate head group offers mildness. The higher alkyl chain length (C24-28) and hydroxyalkyl modifications raise some concern about potential irritation in susceptible individuals. The ingredient has limited published safety data, and EU regulatory files do not indicate specific restrictions. The pubchem_safety_score of 58 aligns with ingredients that are considered safe but lack the extensive safety database of more common cosmetic ingredients.
