About
An animal-derived oil that works as a heavy emollient, but it is less elegant and more clog-prone than many modern plant oils.
This is an animal-derived fatty oil used primarily as an emollient or occlusive support ingredient in cosmetic formulas. Its main drawbacks are heavy feel, oxidation, possible comedogenicity, and the fact that many users prefer modern plant-derived alternatives.
