- Product Highlights
Structurizing vegetable triglyceride. High melting point (mp 58 – 60 °C) and good thermal stability. Stabilizes oil based dispersions and increases texture in anhydrous and emulsion formulations. Skin care and color cosmetics.
- 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.
