HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE GLYCERIDES CITRATE
Hydrogenated Vegetable Glycerides Citrate is an esterified mixture of hydrogenated vegetable glycerides and citric acid, which is mainly used in cosmetics as an emollient, stabilizer and co-emulsifier. It improves the texture and stability of emulsions, prevents oil- and water-based ingredients from separating and contributes to a smooth application on the skin.(1,2)
