Chem/IUPAC Name: Oils, palm, hydrogenated
Hydrogenated Palm Oil in cosmetics is a derivative of palm oil subjected to hydrogenation, a process that solidifies the oil for enhanced stability and texture.
This ingredient often appears as a creamy or solid substance and is widely used in skincare and beauty products for its emollient properties.
The chemical formula for hydrogenated palm oil involves adding hydrogen atoms to unsaturated palm oil, resulting in a more saturated and solid form.
While Hydrogenated Palm Stearin contributes to product texture, it is essential to note that the environmental impact of palm oil production, even in its modified forms, raises concerns due to deforestation and biodiversity loss.
Hydrogenated Palm Stearin (white flakes) is solid fraction of palm oil produced by crystallization at controlled temperature.
Common applications for fatty acids include rubber processing, candles and cosmetic products or use as feedstock to produce derivatives such as MCTs, soap, and metallic soap.
Intermediate chemicals such as fatty alcohols, fatty amines and fatty esters can also be manufactured from fatty acids.
Hydrogenated Palm Stearin is obtained from the soft pulp of the fruit of the palm (Elaeis guineensis) tree that grows primarily in Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines.
The oil content is 40-65%.
Hydrogenated Palm Stearin is subjected to a hydrogenation process from the manufacturer to obtain hydrogenated palm oil.
Its melting point is precisely the property that determines what final use it will have ranging from detergents, personal care, candle making.
Hydrogenated Palm Oil is a oil which is obtained from the palm tree.
Hydrogenated Palm Stearin is solid at room temperature and whitish in appearance.
Hydrogenated Palm Stearin can be fully hydrogenated as well as partially hydrogenated.
Fully hydrogenated palm oil has lesser artificial trans-fats than partially hydrogenated palm oil.
Wilfarin fatty acids are derived from both Palm Oil and Palm Kernel Oil and are produced from the splitting of fats at high temperature and pressure.
Depending on customer requirements, they are available as broad cuts or purer fatty acids by simple or fractional distillation.
Common applications for fatty acids include rubber processing, candles and cosmetic products or use as feedstock to produce derivatives such as MCTs, soap, and metallic soap.
Intermediate chemicals such as fatty alcohols, fatty amines and fatty esters can also be manufactured from fatty acids.
Depending on the grade / type of fatty acids, they are available in paper bags, bulker bags, drums, IBCs, flexibags and bulk shipments.
USES OF HYDROGENATED PALM STEARIN :
Hydrogenated Palm Stearin is Used for manufacturing Food Emulsifiers.
OTHER USES :
Hydrogenated Palm Stearin is Used in manufacturing Soaps, Cosmetics, Candles, Emulsifiers, Pharmaceuticals and in Oleo Chemicals.
Hydrogenated Palm Oil can be referred to as a magical ingredient that not only benefits the texture of the formulations, but also the texture of the surface it is applied to.
Cosmetic products:
Hydrogenated Palm Stearin largely contributes to the formulation's texture, stability, and spreadability.
Its creamy or solid consistency enhances the overall product experience, providing a smooth application and a desirable feel on the skin
Skin care:
Hydrogenated Palm Stearin functions as an effective emollient, imparting a soft and moisturizing effect.
Its presence helps create a protective barrier on the skin's surface, preventing moisture loss and promoting a smoother, more supple complexion
Origin:
Hydrogenated Palm Oil is derived from palm oil through a hydrogenation process.
Hydrogenated Palm Stearin undergoes treatment with hydrogen gas, converting unsaturated fats to saturated fats, resulting in a solid or semi-solid form.
This modification enhances its stability and texture, making it a common ingredient in cosmetics.
WHAT DOES HYDROGENATED PALM OIL DO IN A FORMULATION?
Emollient
Skin conditioning
Viscosity controlling
Hydrogenated Palm Stearin is the co-product of the palm oil refining process.
The product undergoes a hydrogenation process to become hydrogenated palm stearin.
The difference between hydrogenated and regular RBD palm stearin is the number of unsaturated chains of fatty acid molecules.
Hydrogenated RBD palm stearin is known for its higher melting point than regular RBD palm stearin.
At normal temperature, Hydrogenated RBD palm stearin appears white to a slightly yellow solid wax.
Hydrogenated RBD palm stearin is insoluble in water, slightly soluble in gasoline, and soluble in acetone, benzol, chloroform, and alcohol.
MANUFACTURING PROCESS OF HYDROGENATED PALM STEARIN:
Hydrogenated RBD palm stearin is obtained from fractionating RBD Palm Oil to separate olein from stearin.
Dry Fractionation: This is a fully physical process.
It does not require the use of any chemicals or additives so there is no yield loss and no contamination.
There are no chemical changes to RBD palm oil.
First, the RBD oil is heated to approximately 70ºC and homogenized to fully melt the glycerides, and then hot and homogenized oil is allowed to cool in a controlled manner.
Chilled water is circulated for cooling purposes.
When the oil temperature reaches the desired cooling temperature, which depends upon the quality of RBD palm oil, the cooling process is stopped.
The thick crystallized mass is filtered using a drum rotary filter and membrane filter to liquid RBD palm olein and solid RBD palm stearin.
