Hydrogenated Sunflower Seed Oil
Hydrogenated Sunflower Seed Oil is sunflower seed oil that has been chemically hydrogenated, converting its unsaturated fatty acids into a more saturated, solid or semi-solid form. This process increases its stability and raises its melting point compared to regular sunflower oil. According to CosIng, its official functions are skin conditioning and viscosity controlling. It is commonly found in lip balms, lip treatments, mascaras, and moisturizers.
