Information

C10-18 Triglycerides are a blend of fatty acid esters derived from the reaction of glycerin with medium to long-chain fatty acids, specifically those with carbon chain lengths between 10 and 18. They are used in skincare as emollients and texture components that contribute to product feel and skin hydration.

Where does it come from?

These triglycerides are typically sourced from natural plant oils, such as coconut oil or palm kernel oil. They are created through esterification processes that yield a stable, skin-compatible lipid blend.
