HYDROGENATED GRAPESEED OIL ●
TL;DR. This ingredient functions as a solid or semi-solid emollient and texture builder, adding cushion, slip, and occlusivity to balms, sticks, creams, and anhydrous formulas.
What does HYDROGENATED GRAPESEED OIL do in a cosmetic formula?
This ingredient functions as a solid or semi-solid emollient and texture builder, adding cushion, slip, and occlusivity to balms, sticks, creams, and anhydrous formulas.
Is HYDROGENATED GRAPESEED OIL clean?
It is generally well-tolerated and not a common sensitizer, with little clean-standard friction. The main quality point is documentation of full hydrogenation and control of catalyst residues from processing.
Is HYDROGENATED GRAPESEED OIL sustainable?
This material is plant-derived and typically made from an agricultural seed-oil stream, including supply that can come from food and beverage byproducts. It is expected to be biodegradable, though hydrogenation adds a processing step and associated energy use.
Is HYDROGENATED GRAPESEED OIL COSMOS-approved?
It is generally permitted under COSMOS-natural and COSMOS-organic when the agricultural feedstock, hydrogenation process, and processing aids meet the standard. From a Green Chemistry view, it scores well on renewable sourcing and biodegradability, with a modest tradeoff for catalytic processing.
How does HYDROGENATED GRAPESEED OIL work chemically?
The molecule profile is a mixture of triglycerides in which many carbon-carbon double bonds have been saturated, raising melting point and improving oxidative stability versus the parent liquid oil. It is commonly used around 1 to 20% depending on whether the goal is light emollience, viscosity building, or stick structure, and it is stable across typical cosmetic pH because it is used mainly in oil phases.
