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 that contributes to 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 locks in moisture.
Skin Softening: Softens and conditions the skin, making it feel smoother and more supple.
Product Texture: A thickening agent that can contribute to the consistency and spreadability of creams and balms.
Stabilizes Formulations: Can stabilize oil and liquid formulations from separating and extend shelf life.
Non-Irritating: Gentle on the skin and suitable for sensitive skin types.
How is it used in our products?

It is included for its moisturizing and conditioning properties while it contributes to the products texture and provides a smooth, silky feel upon application. In addition to its hydrating benefits, it helps to stabilize emulsions and is ideal for sensitive skin.
