Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

INCI

SUMMARY

Caprylic/capric triglyceride is a fatty acid sourced from coconut oil and glycerin. It's known for its lightweight, non-greasy texture and used in skincare products as an emollient and thickening agent. It helps improve the texture and spreadability of formulas, increase the skin's moisture retention and creates a non-greasy, silky feel that makes it particularly desirable for creams and lotions.

ORIGIN

Caprylic/capric triglyceride is sourced from coconut oil, which is extracted from the meat of coconuts. This ingredient is a combination of caprylic and capric fatty acids with glycerin and it's commonly used in cosmetics and personal care products because of its emollient and skin-conditioning properties.

SKIN TOLERANCE

Caprylic/capric triglyceride is generally well-tolerated on most skin, with a low risk of irritation or sensitization.
