Caprylic/Capric Triglycerides (caprylic/capric triglycerides)

Caprylic/Capric Triglycerides are lightweight, skin-conditioning esters derived from coconut oil and glycerin, known for their excellent emollient and texture-enhancing properties. In cosmetic formulations, they help soften and smooth the skin by reinforcing the lipid barrier, reducing moisture loss, and providing a silky, non-greasy afterfeel. They also function as an effective carrier for active ingredients, improving spreadability and absorption. Highly stable and well-tolerated by all skin types, these triglycerides are widely used in moisturizers, serums, sunscreens, and makeup products.
