- Background
Our structuring agents offer good crystallization behavior and a choice of melting profiles to enable you to achieve the desired texture and consistency for your skin care and color cosmetic applications. Based on vegetable fats, these triglyceride ingredients are designed to show good compatibility with other ingredients when structuring both emulsion and anhydrous formulations and are particularly suitable for cosmetic sticks and pencils.
- Product Highlights
Structurizing vegetable triglyceride.High melting point (mp 59 – 61 °C). Stabilizes structure and increases temperature resistance in anhydrous formulations. Skin care and color cosmetic sticks.
