Tribehenin is composed of glycerin and behenic acid, a naturally-occurring long-chain fatty acid. Tribehenin is found in animal and vegetable fats and oils such as tallow, palm-nut and coconut oils. It is used as a conditioning agent in a wide variety of skin care products, including makeup formulas, creams and lotions, sunscreen products, and skin care and skin cleansing products. Tribehenin is considered a low hazard ingredient by the Cosmetics Database, which notes that it can be a penetration enhancer and assist other chemicals in reaching lower levels of the skin.
