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.
Moisturization: It acts as an effective emollient, helping to soften and smooth the skin by forming a protective barrier that reduces moisture loss.
Texture Enhancement: It improves the spreadability and feel of products, providing a lightweight, non-greasy finish.
Stability: It enhances the stability of formulations, helping to extend 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 acne-prone skin.
How is it used in our products?
Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride is used, for example, in F76 Honey Enzyme Face Mask and F84 Blemish Control Face Mask from OLIVEDA. Included for its ability to stabilize our formulation and provide hydration and a smooth texture. It also acts as a carrier for active ingredients, helping them penetrate the skin more effectively.
