Tri Hydrogenated Trilinoleate
What Tri Hydrogenated Trilinoleate is & what it does
Tri Hydrogenated Trilinoleate is an emollient ester derived from hydrogenated linoleic acid (a fatty acid found in many plant oils). In a formula it acts as a skin-conditioning agent and texture enhancer, lending a smooth, cushiony slip and helping to lock in moisture. The hydrogenation step makes it more stable and oxidation-resistant than the parent unsaturated oil. It is commonly used in creams, balms, and color cosmetics to soften the skin feel without a greasy finish.
