Abstract: A fat composition for cosmetic or pharmaceutical emulsion products, substantially consisting of a mixture of mono-, di- and triglycerides, wherein more than 90 weight % of the fatty acid residues incorporated in the glycerides contain 16-22 carbon atoms, produced from vegetable fats.

Abstract: A composition for use as a substitute for petrolatum and for surface treatment of confectionery, food products and surfaces which get in contact therewith as well as for external treatment of animals and plants comprises (a) oxidation resistant glyceride oil and/or liquid wax, (b) solid wax, which may be omitted if (a) comprises liquid wax, (c) structuring fat, and optionally (d) additions selected from crystallization inhibitors, hydrolysis inhibitors, food product ingredients, additives to food products, diet supplements, bioactive substances, cosmetic ingredients, pigments, and solvents. The combination of oxidation resistant glyceride oil, wax and structuring fat provides a composition with a semi-transparent, petrolatum-like structure having a high taste and smell stability, good gloss and anti-sticking effect, regulated adhesion and a very fine crystal structure.
