INCI: Caprylic/Capric triglyceride

Essentially Natural Capric Caprylic Triglycerides (MCT Oil) is a clear, lightweight emollient made from fractionated coconut oil. It has a smooth, non-greasy feel and is widely used in personal care as a carrier oil and texture enhancer. It is oxidation resistant and helps improve slip and spreadability in oils, balms, and body butters. This ingredient is especially popular where a stable, low-odour oil is needed.

This product is certified: Vegan and Beauty Without Cruelty.
