Ginger is a well-known root around the world for all of its health properties, especially as an anti-inflammatory and for its gastric properties that assist the digestive system. This root is used as a slimming formula because its properties promote weight loss.
Historically, tallow has been used as a fuel, a base for candles, a treatment for leather, and a base for soaps. In the modern era, it is used commonly as a lubricant and cooking oil.
Animal tallow once provided the cetyl alcohol in conditioner, but it is now derived from coconut or palm oil, or made synthetically. Stearyl alcohol functions as a thickener and stabilizes the amount of foaming in conditioner. Conditioners with stearyl alcohol are more viscous than those without.
