binomial name: cocos nucifera (coconut) derived triglycerides
derived from coconut oil and glycerin, caprylic/capric triglyceride is a lightweight emollient created through careful fractionation of medium-chain fatty acids. clear and silky in texture, it offers the nourishing qualities of coconut without its heavier density. widely used in refined botanical formulations, it acts as a carrier for active ingredients, enhancing their distribution while imparting a smooth, elegant finish. neutral in aroma and effortlessly absorbed, it brings balance and fluidity to creams, oils and serums.
benefit: caprylic/capric triglyceride is known for its softening and conditioning properties, helping to smooth the skin’s surface and support moisture retention. it enhances spreadability and leaves a non-greasy, satin-like finish that feels weightless and refined. by reinforcing the skin’s natural barrier, it assists in maintaining suppleness and comfort throughout the day. gentle and versatile, it elevates both performance and sensory experience within daily care rituals.
