Capric Triglyceride Description

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride is a very popular ingredient in modern skincare created by combining specific fatty acids from coconut oil with glycerin. The result is an ester oil with a thinner consistency and significantly higher stability than raw coconut oil. It acts as a fantastic emollient that fills in cracks between skin cells, making the skin surface feel instantly smooth, supple, and soft. The ingredient is highly valued by product formulators because it serves as an excellent carrier for other active ingredients and vitamins. It gives skincare products a wonderful "slip" upon application and penetrates the skin quickly without clogging pores or leaving a heavy, oily residue. Since it is completely colorless and odorless, and has an extremely long shelf life without the need for strong antioxidants, it is used in everything from luxurious facial oils and creams to makeup and sunscreens.
