Functions
Emollient
Fills in the tiny cracks between skin cells to make everything feel smooth and soft. The "silky finish" ingredient.
Emulsifying
Forces oil and water to stay mixed instead of separating into layers. The unsung hero holding your lotion together.
Locks In Moisture
Traditional Use
Tallow glycerides are derived from traditional tallow, which has been used in soap and cosmetics for centuries. Modern hydrogenation creates stable emollients used in contemporary cosmetic formulations.
