Oleic/palmitic/lauric/myristic/linoleic trigylceride is used in cosmetic formulations.

Triglycerides are ester compounds of glycerin with 3 (tri..) fatty acids. The triglyceride mixture with oleic acid, palmitic acid, lauric acid, myristic acid and linoleic acid is used in cosmetic formulations. The mixture acts as an emollient (makes the skin supple and smoothes it).
