Triarachidine is a triester (triglyceride) of glycerol and behenic acid (n-docosanoic acid).
The glycerol triester is used in cosmetic formulations. It acts as a skin care product, emollient (makes the skin smooth and supple) and emulsifier (enables the formation of finely dispersed mixtures of oil and water).
