Hydrogenated Palm Glycerides Citrate is a derivative of palm oil: hydrogenated glycerides linked to citric acid. INCI: Hydrogenated Palm Glycerides Citrate. In a formula it works as an emollient, co-emulsifier, and stabilizer: it softens skin, helps hold the emulsion, and the citrate part protects the formula's oils from oxidation. It is a functional component, not a skincare active. The antioxidant effect of the citrate is aimed at the stability of the formula itself, not at skin. Pregnancy safety. Systemic absorption through intact skin is negligible and there is no evidence of harm. It can be used during pregnancy and lactation. Tolerance. Irritation and allergen potential are low, suitable for sensitive skin.
