Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride is a synthetic triglyceride, in particular a triester obtained from fatty acids fractionated from coconut oil, therefore of vegetable origin.
It comes in the form of a slightly yellow liquid with no odor.
It is a valid substitute for vegetable oils and is stable to oxidation compared to the latter.
It can be found in many categories of cosmetics and personal care products including bath products, eye makeup, hair care products, shaving creams, sunscreens, skin care products, and lipsticks.
It has strong emollient properties, it is a widely used ingredient for the preparation of emulsions, as it is versatile and safe. It also has a lighter and drier touch on the skin than some vegetable oils, also improving the spreadability of the products.
It is present in most of our products.
