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 greater stability than raw coconut oil. It acts as a fantastic emollient that fills in the gaps between skin cells, making the skin's surface feel immediately 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 fantastic "slip" during application and penetrates the skin quickly without clogging pores or leaving a heavy, oily film. Since it is completely colorless and odorless and has an extremely long shelf life without the need for powerful antioxidants, it is used in everything from luxurious facial oils and creams to makeup and sunscreen.
