Description

Hydrogenated Vegetable Glycerides Citrate is a complex ether obtained by hydrogenating vegetable glycerides with the addition of citric acid. In cosmetics, it primarily serves as an emollient, stabilizing and antioxidant function. It is added to soften the skin, improve the texture of creams and stabilize the oily phase of emulsions. Thanks to its properties, it prevents the oxidation of fats in the formula, prolonging the shelf life of the cosmetic product. This ingredient is gentle and well tolerated even by sensitive skin, making it popular in creams, lotions, balms, lipsticks, sunscreens and products for baby skin care.
