CAPRYLIC/CAPRIC TRIGLYCERIDE
Ingredient Info
Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride is a lightweight oil derived from coconut that acts as an emollient and carrier ingredient in skincare products. It helps soften the skin, improve product texture, and allows other active ingredients to penetrate more effectively.
Benefits
- Improves skin hydration and reduces water loss from the skin
- Creates a smooth, non-greasy feel on the skin
- Helps deliver other active ingredients deeper into the skin
- Supports the skin's natural moisture barrier
Science: Research shows that products containing 15% caprylic/capric triglyceride increase skin hydration and reduce transepidermal water loss (TEWL), likely through an occlusive moisturizing effect. The ingredient is also commonly used as an effective carrier oil in cosmetic formulations to enhance penetration of other skincare actives.
