Hydrogenated Palm Glycerides Citrate is a mixture of citric acid esters with glycerides derived from hydrogenated palm oil. It is derived from plant-based renewable raw materials.
Hydrogenated Palm Glycerides Citrate combines palm oil mono-, di-, and triglyceride citrate esters like Glyceryl 1-Citrate 3-Stearate, Glyceryl 1-Citrate 2,3-Dipalmitate, Glyceryl 1-Citrate 2-Stearate, Glyceryl 1-Citrate 3-Palmitate, Glyceryl 1-Citrate 2,3-Distearate, etc.
Hydrogenated Palm Glycerides Citrate is a potent emulsifier with an HLB value of ~11 (depending on composition), skin conditioning agent, and emollient. In addition, it is a perfect solubilizer and carrier for lipophilic vitamins like Tocopherols and Ascorbyl Palmitate, which protects those ingredients from oxidation and improves penetration rates.
