Cocoglycerides, also known as coconut glycerides, are fatty acids and esters that are derived from the coconut stalk. It is a vegetable ingredient with significant emollient and moisturizing properties. Their structure allows easy absorption into the skin, without feeling greasy. Due to their properties, cocoglycerides are a popular ingredient in many cosmetic products.

Cocoglycerides are used in a wide range of cosmetic and personal care products. The main products to which they are added include various types of creams, lotions, sunscreen products, makeup, shampoos, conditioners and other hair products. Their addition ensures that the skin remains moisturized and soft. In addition to their moisturizing properties, coconut glycerides also help stabilize emulsions, which are often used in the manufacture of cosmetic products. Regular use of products containing cocoglycerides can help to significantly improve the appearance and health of skin and hair.

Coconut glycerides are a healthier alternative to synthetic emulsifiers and allow for the creation of more natural and environmentally friendly products. Its versatility and skin-friendliness make it one of the most widely used ingredients in nature-based cosmetics.
