Castor oil (Xenaderm) is a vegetable oil pressed from the seeds of the castor bean, Ricinus communis, used as a laxative and as an excipient in medicinally.

Squalane is a lipid found in some fish oils (especially shark liver oil) and some vegetable oils. It has anticancer and antioxidant properties and is used as a skin moisturizer and emollient.

Cottonseed oil, a cooking oil extracted from the seeds of cotton plants, has been considered the most insecticidal of vegetable oils.

Oleic acid (Glycon Wo) is a natural product, a common monounsaturated fatty acid found in a variety of animal and vegetable fats and oils. Palmitic acid is a Na+ K+ ATPase activator.

1. Lutein (Xantofyl) has antitumour action. 2. Lutein has antimutagenic action. 3. Lutein has a wide range of antimicrobial action. 4. Lutein is potentially useful for treating macular degeneration.

Propyl gallate (Gallic acid propyl esterZ) is an antioxidant used in foods especially animal fats and vegetable oils, also in a wide variety of cosmetics and beauty care products.

Linoleic acid (9,12-octadecadienoic acid) is a naturally occurring polyunsaturated fatty acid found in animal and vegetable oils. Linoleic acid is an essential fatty acid that is part of membrane phospholipids.

Triarachidin (1,2,3-Trieicosanoyl Glycerol) is a triarachidic acid triglyceride. Triglycerides (TGs) are also known as triacylglycerols or triacylglycerides. TGs are the main constituent of vegetable oil and animal fats. TGs are major components of very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) and chylomicrons, play an important role in metabolism as energy sources and transporters of dietary fat. They contain more than twice the energy (9 kcal g) of carbohydrates and proteins.

Caprylic Capric Triglyceride, a compound consisting of triglycerides and esters derived from fractionated vegetable oil, and fatty acids from coconut and palm kernel oils, serves as a food additive and is utilized in cosmetics. This substance demonstrates outstanding oxidation stability.

Arachidic acid (Icosanoic Acid) is a saturated fatty acid found naturally in fish and vegetable oils (such as those from peanuts). It can also be formed by the hydrogenation of arachidonic acid. Diets rich in saturated fatty acids, such as arachidic acid, are known to increase serum low-density lipoproteins resulting in high blood cholesterol levels.

Palmitic anhydride, commonly derived from animal fats and vegetable oils, is a saturated fatty acid extensively employed in organic synthesis. Its primary use is to incorporate palmitoyl(hexadecanoyl) functional groups into various organic molecules. Additionally, it plays a significant role in the manufacture of surfactants, lubricants, and plasticizers. It is also utilized in the formulation of cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.

1-Oleoyl-2-lauroyl-3-palmitoyl-rac-glycerol (1-Olein-2-laurin-3-palmitin; Tg(18:1 12:0 16:0)) is a triacylglycerol that can be isolated from vegetable oils.
