Hydrogenated Vegetable Glycerides Citrate is a derivative of plant fats: hydrogenated glycerides linked to citric acid. INCI: Hydrogenated Vegetable Glycerides Citrate. In a formula it works as an emollient, co-emulsifier, and stabilizer: it softens skin, helps hold the emulsion, and protects the formula's oils from oxidation. The citrate part gives a mild antioxidant-stabilizing effect for the formula itself, not for skin. It is a functional component, not a skincare active. 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.
