"'raffinose' means a non-reducing trisaccharide consisting of D-galactose, G-glucose and D-fructose; 'oleate' salts/esters of oleic acid (cis-9-octadecenoic acid)

Raffinose oleate is used in cosmetic formulations. The ester acts as surfactant (washing-active substance) as well as skin care agent (nourishes the skin), emulsifier (changes the interfacial tension of liquids like water and oil so that they can be mixed together).
