Functions
Light Stabilizer
Emollient
Fills in the tiny cracks between skin cells to make everything feel smooth and soft. The "silky finish" ingredient.
Cleansing
Makes oil and water mix so dirt, makeup, and sunscreen can actually be washed away. The reason your face wash foams.
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 has been used in traditional cosmetics and soap production for centuries. Hydrogenated tallow glyceride is a modern emollient developed in the 20th century by chemically modifying tallow for improved stability and sensory properties.
