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.
