For adults (men and women), hydrogenated vegetable oil is usually safe when used on the skin. It works as a moisturizer and is considered low risk by safety reviewers and government assessments.
If you’re an adult using a product that lists this ingredient: do a small patch test on your inner forearm first to check for sensitivity, use the product as directed, avoid applying to open wounds or badly irritated skin, and stop use and talk to your doctor if you develop redness, itching, or a rash.
There are notes from industry safety reviewers (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) that safety assessments rely on reported concentrations in products and there can be gaps about impurities or exact use levels. Government reviews (Environment Canada) list this ingredient as low priority for harm, but you should still watch for allergic reactions or irritation. If a product warns about concentration limits or special use instructions, follow those instructions.
