Hydrogenated tallow glycerides, hardened tallow glycerides which are extracted from beef tallow, are used in cosmetic formulations. They act as emollients (make the skin smooth and supple), emulsifiers (change the interfacial tension of liquids like water and oil so that they can be mixed together) and stabilizers (stabilize the resistance and shelf life of ingredients or formulations).
