Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil is a plant-derived oil that undergoes a chemical process called hydrogenation, which alters its structure to make it more stable and solid at room temperature. It is commonly used in cosmetics and personal care products to provide a smooth texture and help lock in moisture. Known for its emollient properties, it helps soften and hydrate the skin. While derived from natural vegetable oils, the hydrogenation process makes it a synthetic ingredient. It is safe for use in eco-friendly formulations, providing stability and enhancing the performance of products.
