It is used in amounts between 1–7% as an emollient (moisturising ingredient) and texture-improving thickening agent in cosmetics. In particular, it helps thicken the oil (lipid) part of a skin care or makeup product. The independent Cosmetic Ingredient Review board has ruled that trihydroxystearin is safe as it is used in cosmetics. In addition to its use in makeup and skin care, the United States Food and Drug Administration has approved the use of trihydroxystearin as an indirect food additive, for example, as a component of paper or paperboard that comes in contact with aqueous or fatty foods. It is also used directly as a thickener for peanut butter. Powiązane składniki: Glycerin
