Capric/caprylic triglycerides are a type of natural ester derived from coconut oil, palm kernel oil or other vegetable oils. They are also known as medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) because they contain fatty acids that are medium in length, with 8 to 10 carbon atoms.

Capric/caprylic triglycerides are commonly used in the cosmetics industry as a moisturising agent and emollient, as they help to soften and soothe the skin. They are also used in various other personal care products such as lotions, creams, and makeup, due to their ability to penetrate the skin easily and leave a non-greasy feel.

One of the benefits of capric/caprylic triglycerides is that they are less likely to cause skin irritation or allergic reactions than other types of oils, making them a good choice for those with sensitive skin. They are also odorless, colorless, and tasteless, making them an ideal ingredient for many cosmetic and food formulations.

The lightness of caprylic/capric triglygerides allows the creation of wonderful creams and lotions (and extends their shelf life due to the difficulty this product has in becoming rancid), as well as perfume products that may be created in a liquid state, or added to a solid for a cream type product.

Common Name: Caprylic/Capric Triglycerides

CAS Number: 65381-09-1
