Hydrogenated Palm Kernel Oil
Hydrogenated Palm Kernel Oil is a processed form of palm kernel oil that has been hydrogenated to increase its saturation and raise its melting point, resulting in a solid or semi-solid fat at room temperature. It is derived from the kernel of the oil palm fruit (Elaeis guineensis). In cosmetics, it functions primarily as an emollient and skin conditioning agent, as well as a viscosity controller. Its CAS numbers are 84540-04-5 and 68990-82-9.
