BONTE, Jean-Christophe Archambault, Frédéric. Vegetable fats in cosmeticology. Rev. Bol. Quim [online]. 2021, vol.38, n.2, pp.80-94. ISSN 0250-5460.  https://doi.org/10.34098/2078-3949.38.2.3.

Skin care and makeup cosmetic formulations are generally complex mixtures and all their components have an impact on their efficacy. Due to their skin human affinity, oils and fat ingredients are essential components. Fats are mainly found in liquid dispersed forms, powders and solid forms of makeup such as emulsions, lotions, serums, lipsticks, eyeshadows or mascaras. If the petrochemistry led to the emergence of new define and neutral compounds, recent changes in consumption show an increased interest in sustainable substances of natural origin. This article focuses on vegetable oils, butters, waxes, fatty alcohols and esters of natural origin. It describes the main currently used vegetable fats in cosmeticology, their chemistry, impact within formulas, properties and their contribution to cosmetic efficacy.
