vegetable shortening???
Hello I was wondering if I could use vegetable shortening (crisco and similar ones) to be used in an anhydrous stick product to decrease hardness and increase slip. Im aware a lot of hydrogenated oils are used in cosmetics, so would edible grade work? is there any difference? would it be comedogenic?

Lots of questions here…I am flooded…but here goes:
Affirmative, use vegetable shortening (hydrogenated vegetable oil) in your formula; edible grade works same as cosmetic grade; there is no difference; it is very comedogenic. -

Which oil would you use?
1-5% would not be a problem. -
