The cocoglycerides are safe to be used as the ingredient in various types of cosmetics.
Cocoglycerides are a mixture of di, mono, and triglycerides derived from the coconut oil.
The primary function of cocoglycerides is its moisturizing benefits of the coconut oil.
The emollient also helps in making the skin soft, and smooth in appearance.
Cocoglycerideproduces a feeling of lightness on the skin, leaving it soft and silky, it is easily absorbed and provides moisture, it can also exert an antibacterial effect.
