Porcine-derived mono-, di-, and triglycerides used as emollient and skin-conditioning ingredients in cosmetics.

Lard Glycerides are the glyceride fraction derived from rendered pork fat (lard). They function as occlusive emollients and skin-conditioning agents, similar in function to other animal-derived fats. They are permitted under EU Regulation 1223/2009. Regulatory considerations include animal-origin documentation for TSE compliance and consumer preferences regarding animal-derived ingredients. From a skin functionality perspective, they provide similar emollient benefits to tallow glycerides.

Skin benefits

  • Effective occlusive moisturizer
  • Softens and conditions skin
  • Provides stable emollient base in formulations

Known concerns

  • Animal origin – vegan/vegetarian preference issues
  • Religious restrictions (halal/kosher concerns)
  • TSE documentation may be required for EU compliance
