DefinitionThis section has been translated automatically.

Palm glyceride is a substance mixture of glycerides (glycerol esters) which are obtained by reaction with one or more fatty acids from palm oil (mono-, di- or triglycerides). The glycerol esters act as emollients (making the skin smooth and supple) and as emulsifiers (surface-active substance used in cosmetic products as an auxiliary agent to unite two immiscible liquids - e.g. oil and water - to form an emulsion).
