Hydrogenated Palm Glyceride
What Hydrogenated Palm Glyceride is & what it does
Hydrogenated Palm Glyceride is a mono-, di-, and triglyceride mixture derived from hydrogenated palm oil. In cosmetic and sunscreen formulas it serves mainly as an emollient and emulsifier, helping bind oil and water phases while giving the product a softer, more cushioned feel. A notable property is its waxy, semi-solid texture, which can add body and stability to creams and sticks.
What does Hydrogenated Palm Glyceride do in skincare?
Hydrogenated Palm Glyceride works mainly as an emollient and emulsifier. It helps soften the skin surface, binds the oil and water phases of a formula, and adds a waxy body that improves the texture and stability of creams and sticks.
Is Hydrogenated Palm Glyceride vegan?
It is derived from palm oil, a plant source, so the base material is typically plant-based. Whether a finished product is certified vegan still depends on the brand and the other ingredients, so check the product's own labeling if that matters to you.
Is Hydrogenated Palm Glyceride comedogenic?
Palm-derived glycerides can vary in how heavy they feel, and individual pore-clogging responses differ. There is no single definitive comedogenic rating that applies to every formula, so if you are acne-prone it is sensible to watch how your skin responds.
