Hydrogenated Soya Bean Oil (Flakes Form)

Hydrogenated Soybean Oil is soybean oil which is liquid at room temperature and processed by adding hydrogen to make it more saturated. Hydrogenation increases the oil's stability and raises its melting point so that it is a solid at room temperature. Hydrogenated Soybean Oil is a soft wax which works with the other waxes in the product to make it slide more easily and, therefore it is more pleasant to apply. Hydrogenated Soybean Oil has a long history of safe use in personal care products. It is also permitted for direct addition to food. Although it is widely used in foods, it may contain some trans fats that would be a dietary consideration; this is not an issue in personal care products where the product is applied to the skin rather than ingested.
