Description

Caprylic/Capric Triglycerides (MCT) is a highly stable, skin-friendly ester composed of medium-chain fatty acids — caprylic (C8) and capric (C10) — esterified to a glycerin backbone. Unlike standard fractionated coconut oil, which is derived through distillation, this ingredient is created through selective esterification of coconut oil to isolate and harness the benefits of these specific fatty acids.

The result is a clear, odorless, and fast-absorbing oil that delivers excellent emolliency without a greasy residue. Commonly used in clean beauty, baby care, sunscreens, and sensitive-skin formulations, Caprylic/Capric Triglycerides enhance formula aesthetics, improve the delivery of actives, and support product stability — making it a staple in modern personal care systems.

MADE OF:

Caprylic/Capric Triglycerides MCT is produced through the esterification of glycerin with caprylic and capric fatty acids, typically derived from coconut or palm kernel oil. The process yields a medium-chain triglyceride that is lightweight, oxidation-resistant, and biodegradable. It is free from long-chain triglycerides, mineral oil, and animal derivatives.

Why It’s Perfect for You:

Whether you're a formulator seeking a clean, non-greasy emollient or a brand owner building a lightweight skincare line, Caprylic/Capric Triglycerides MCT delivers exceptional texture, compatibility, and functionality. Its versatility makes it ideal for oils, creams, cleansers, balms, and even hair serums.
