Fractionated Coconut Oil (Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride)
INCI: Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
What It Is
Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride is a lightweight, silky emollient derived from coconut oil. It’s composed of medium-chain fatty acids bonded to glycerin, resulting in a stable, non-greasy oil that enhances skin softness and improves product texture without clogging pores.
Why We Use It
We use caprylic/capric triglyceride to provide smooth glide, boost skin nourishment, and help stabilize our oil-based formulations. It delivers lasting moisture while feeling dry to the touch, making our products feel luxurious without heaviness.
Origin & How It’s Made
Caprylic/capric triglyceride is sourced from coconut oil. Through a process called esterification, the medium-chain fatty acids (caprylic and capric acid) are separated and combined with glycerin to form a lightweight, highly stable emollient suitable for sensitive skin.
