Description
Hydrogenated rapeseed oil is a vegetable oil that has been subjected to the process of hydrogenation, which allows for an increased shelf life and product stability. In cosmetic products, hydrogenated rapeseed oil can be used as an emulsifier, helping to mix different ingredients and form stable emulsions. It is also an excellent moisturizer and softener, as it contains fatty acids that can penetrate the skin and prevent moisture loss. It can also be used as a substitute for animal fats, such as lanolin or tropical palm oil. This allows cosmetic manufacturers to create products that are suitable for vegans and those who wish to avoid animal products.
