Information

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride is a versatile, lightweight emollient commonly used in skincare products. It is an ester derived from the combination of caprylic and capric fatty acids with glycerin. This ingredient is known for its ability to create a smooth, silky texture in formulations without leaving a greasy residue. It is highly stable, non-irritating, and suitable for a wide range of skin types.

Where does it come from?

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride is sourced primarily from coconut oil or palm kernel oil. These oils are often sourced from sustainably grown and organic palm plantations. The fatty acids caprylic and capric are medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) that are naturally present in these oils. The extraction process involves separating these fatty acids from the oil and then esterifying them with glycerin to produce the final ingredient.

What are the benefits?

MOISTURIZING PROTECTIVE PURIFYING

What are the benefits?

  • Moisturizing: An effective emollient that softens and smoothes the skin by forming a protective barrier that minimizes moisture loss.
  • Texture: It contributes to the spreadability and feel of products, providing a lightweight, non-greasy finish.
  • Stability: It contributes to the stability of formulations, extending the shelf life of products by resisting oxidation and rancidity.
  • Non-Comedogenic: It is considered non-comedogenic, meaning it doesn’t clog pores, making it suitable for oily skin.

How is it used in our products?

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride is included for its ability to stabilize our formulation and provide hydration and a smooth texture.  It also can be a carrier for active ingredients to penetrate the skin more effectively.

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride is used in F05, F10, F18, F76, F78, F84, F91, B13, B15, B16, B20, B52, and B54 from OLIVEDA and in Hydroxytyrosol Grooming Rinse from "is that Matty?", and in Olive Shield Baby Barrier Cream and Love Belly Massage Elixir from the Baby & Mom Collection.
