Emollient ingredient
Hydrogenated Coco-Glycerides
The glycerides of coconut oil fatty acids after hydrogenation — a process that converts unsaturated fatty acid chains to saturated ones, producing a solid or semi-solid emollient. Hydrogenation improves oxidative stability and modifies texture versus liquid coconut oil. Used as a rich emollient in sleeping masks and overnight creams, contributing to a soft, cushioned skin feel.
