Hydrogenated tallow, the hardened beef tallow is used in cosmetic formulations. Hydrogenated tallow acts as an emollient (makes the skin supple and smooth), emulsifier (changes the interfacial tension of liquids such as water and oil so that they can be mixed together), viscosity regulator (increases or decreases the viscosity of cosmetic products) and skin care product.
