HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE GLYCERIDES CITRATE
Hydrogenated Vegetable Glycerides Citrate is an esterified mixture of hydrogenated vegetable glycerides and citric acid. It is 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, supple application on the skin. It also supports skin care by keeping the skin soft and supple.(1,2)
