Capric Caprylic Triglycerides is a lightweight emollient made from fractionated coconut oil and used widely in skincare and haircare formulation. It is clear, low odour, smooth on the skin, and valued for improving slip and spreadability without a greasy finish. This is a functional carrier and texture-enhancing oil rather than a strongly aromatic botanical oil. It is especially useful when a formula needs stability and a clean, elegant feel.
♡ Why we love it: We choose to stock Capric Caprylic Triglycerides because it is one of the easiest oils to work with when a product needs better glide, lighter feel, and strong oxidative stability. It is a practical staple for makers who want a dependable emollient without the heavier character of many natural oils.
