Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride oil, often abbreviated as CCT oil, is a highly refined mixture of medium-chain fatty acids, specifically caprylic acid (C8) and capric acid (C10). It is commonly derived from coconut oil or palm kernel oil, both of which are rich in these medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs). The oil is colorless, odorless, and has a light texture, making it a versatile ingredient widely used in cosmetic, skincare, and personal care formulations.
Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride is valued for its unique ability to rapidly absorb into the skin without leaving a greasy residue, which makes it an ideal carrier oil in skincare products. It is often included in moisturizers, serums, sunscreens, and other topical formulations due to its emollient properties that help to hydrate and soften the skin. The oil also enhances the delivery of active ingredients in these products, allowing for better penetration and efficacy.
In addition to its moisturizing and skin-nourishing benefits, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride possesses mild antimicrobial properties, which can be beneficial for maintaining healthy skin. It can help soothe irritation and support the skin’s natural barrier, making it suitable for sensitive skin, acne-prone skin, or conditions like eczema and psoriasis.
Beyond skincare, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride is used in the food and pharmaceutical industries. In food applications, it serves as an emulsifier and stabilizer for various products like salad dressings, beverages, and baked goods. In pharmaceuticals, it is often used as a carrier oil for vitamins and supplements, improving absorption and bioavailability.
Due to its gentle nature and compatibility with the skin, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride is a popular ingredient in both cosmetic formulations and wellness products. Its versatility, mildness, and ability to provide hydration and skin protection make it an essential component in modern skincare and personal care routines.
