Product Info:
Caprylic/Capric Triglycerides, also known as MCT Oil, are derived from coconut or palm kernel oil. This lightweight, non-greasy emollient enhances skin hydration, improves product spreadability, and leaves a silky, smooth feel. It is widely used in skincare, haircare, and cosmetic formulations as a non-comedogenic alternative to heavier oils. MCT oil helps to dissolve active ingredients, improve product texture, and extend shelf life due to its stability and resistance to oxidation. Ideal for facial oils, serums, creams, and anhydrous formulations.
Formulation Guidelines:
- Can be used as a carrier oil or as part of the oil phase in emulsions.
- Works well in combination with essential oils, butters, and other plant-based oils.
- Enhances the stability of oil-based formulations.
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain freshness.
