Information
Tribehenin is a waxy ester derived from glycerin and behenic acid, a long-chain fatty acid. It is commonly used in skincare products as an emollient, thickener, and conditioning agent. Tribehenin is known for its excellent ability to moisturize and soften the skin, providing a smooth texture and enhancing the spreadability of formulations.
Where does it come from?
Tribehenin is made from behenic acid, which is found in rapeseed oil. Through a process called esterification, behenic acid is combined with glycerin to create Tribehenin. This process results in a stable, solid ingredient that effectively improves the texture and hydration properties of skincare products.
Moisturizing: Provides long-lasting hydration by forming a protective barrier on the skin that prevents moisture loss.
Skin Softening: Softens and conditions the skin, making it feel smoother and more supple.
Enhances Product Texture: Acts as a thickening agent that improves the consistency and spreadability of creams, lotions, and balms.
Stabilizes Formulations: Helps to stabilize oil and liquid formulations, preventing separation and extending shelf life.
Non-Irritating: Gentle on the skin and suitable for sensitive skin types.
How is it used in our products?
Tribehenin is used in Serum Hydroxytyrosol Skin Tint from OLIVE ROSE. It is included for its moisturizing and conditioning properties while it enhances the texture and provides a smooth, silky feel upon application. In addition to its hydrating benefits, it helps to stabilize emulsions and is ideal for dry or sensitive skin.
