C18-36 Acid Triglyceride is a synthetic triglyceride derived from long-chain fatty acids, used in cosmetics as an emollient, viscosity-building agent, and structuring lipid to improve skin feel and product texture. It helps soften skin and stabilize formulations rather than acting as a treatment active.
| Reported effect | How often | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Skin irritation | Rare | Mild redness or discomfort possible in sensitive individuals. |
| Allergic contact dermatitis | Very rare | Isolated hypersensitivity reactions reported; generally considered low-sensitizing. |
| Comedogenicity / pore congestion | Rare | As a lipid-based emollient, may contribute to clogged pores in acne-prone skin. |
Frequencies reflect typical cosmetic use reported in the literature, not a guarantee for your skin.
