What it is
Brassica Glycerides are mono-, di-, and triglycerides obtained from the seed oils of Brassica (rape / canola) plants. They function as plant-derived emollients that soften skin and improve the texture and slip of a formula. In sunscreens they help build a smooth, conditioning base.
Safety & warnings
Plant-derived glycerides of this type are generally well tolerated and used as emollients. As with other rich plant lipids, formulation level affects feel; individual reactions to plant-oil derivatives are uncommon but possible.
Origin & sourcing
Plant-derived, processed from the seed oils of Brassica species (rapeseed / canola) into a glyceride mixture.
