MANNITAN OLEATE.

Insufficient Data / SURFACTANT - CLEANSING, SURFACTANT - EMULSIFYING

Mannitan Oleate, an ester derived from mannitol and oleic acid, primarily functions as an emulsifier and skin conditioning agent within formulations. Its unique structure enables stabilization of immiscible phases while offering potential benefits for skin texture and barrier support.

Science

Mechanism of Action

As an ester of mannitol and oleic acid, Mannitan Oleate operates to stabilize oil-in-water or water-in-oil emulsions, reducing interfacial tension. On the skin, it likely conditions the surface, while its oleic acid component may facilitate the penetration of other lipophilic ingredients by transiently disrupting the lipid lamellae of the stratum corneum.

Sensitization risk Unknown

While the individual constituents, mannitol and oleic acid, have established safety profiles (mannitol affirmed safe by CIR, oleic acid classified as GRAS by FDA), Mannitan Oleate itself lacks a dedicated Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) or Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) assessment. It is however registered within the FDA Global Substance Registration System (GSRS).
