Capric Triglyceride – A natural moisturizer for skin and hair

Capric Triglyceride – a natural softener for skin and hair

Capric Triglyceride is a light, 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 feel without feeling greasy or heavy. We use Capric Triglyceride in our lip balms to give lips 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 where the lighter fatty acids have been separated from the heavier ones. The result is a light, stable oil that absorbs quickly and feels silky on the skin.

How does Capric Triglyceride work?

Capric Triglyceride acts as an emollient, which means it:

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