Our potassium oleate is naturally derived from sunflower oil. Potassium oleate is both a salt and a fatty acid. It is a salt because it is the product of an acid and a base. It is a fatty acid because it has a long carbon backbone with a carboxyl group terminus. It dissolves freely in water to produce mildly basic solutions with a pH higher than 7.
