Overview

Cocoglycerides is a naturally derived ingredient that serves as an emollient and as an emulsifier.

An emollient is a type of ingredient that makes the skin feel soft and smooth, and it is typically considered an oil or is oil-like in nature. Emollients should not be confused with moisturizers, which bring water to the skin or hold onto water already present in the skin.

Cocoglycerides have medium spreadability, which means they have a mid-range weight to them when applied to the skin and are not slippery or tacky when rubbed in.

Cocoglycerides can also function as an emulsifier, which hold together products like lotions and creams.
