Hydrogenated palm oil, the hydrogenated palm oil (see also oil palm), is used in cosmetic formulations. The hydrogenated palm oil acts as an emollient (makes the skin smooth and supple), emulsifier (changes the interfacial tension of liquids like water and oil so that they can be mixed together), viscosity regulator (increases or decreases the viscosity of cosmetic products) and skin care product. "Hydrogenated" means treated with hydrogen (hydrogenated or hardened).
