Solid fats of animal origin, which are solid at room temperature, are used in cosmetic products and affect their quality. Saturated fats and trans fats are high in solid fats. The consistency of solid fat contents varies from very solid to liquid at high and low temperatures. SFC (Solid Fat Content) Determination is carried out, which enables the determination of the Solid Fat Content in cosmetic products. The oil rate in cosmetics can be considered as a quality indicator.

Bee wax, carnauba wax or paraffin wax are used in the production of lip balm. These raw materials contain fatty acids with solid fat components. Kajal, which is obtained by grinding galena and various components and used in eye makeup, also contains fatty acid components. In such cosmetic products, solid fat content can be determined by SFC Determination.
