Capric Triglyceride – a natural emollient for skin and hair

Capric Triglyceride is a lightweight, natural oil that is perfect for skin and hair care. This gentle emollient is derived from coconut oil and palm oil and is known for its ability to soften, moisturize, and provide a silky-smooth feel without feeling greasy or heavy. We use Capric Triglyceride in our lip balms to provide the lips with intensive care and a luxurious feel.

What is Capric Triglyceride?

Capric Triglyceride, also called Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, is a blend of fatty acids from coconut oil and palm oil. It is a fractionated oil, meaning it has undergone a process in which the lighter fatty acids are separated from the heavier ones. The result is a lightweight, stable oil that absorbs quickly and feels silky-smooth on the skin.

How does Capric Triglyceride work?

Capric Triglyceride acts as an emollient, which means it:

• Softens – Makes skin and hair soft and supple
• Moisturizes – Binds moisture to the skin
• Creates a barrier – Protects against dehydration
• Improves absorption – Helps other ingredients penetrate
• Provides a silky-smooth feel – Without feeling greasy or heavy
