Expert Verdict
Hydrogenated cottonseed glyceride is permitted for cosmetic use with adequate safety margins. However, raw cottonseed oil may contain gossypol, aflatoxin, and cyclopropenoid fatty acids (CPFA), which are toxic. Cosmetic-grade material must be refined to eliminate these contaminants. Require supplier CoA confirming gossypol below limit of detection and aflatoxin compliance.
