FEATURE AND APPLICATION
Caprylic / Capric Triglyceride is a mixed triester of glycerol and medium-carbon fatty acids in vegetable oils. It is a colorless, odorless, low-viscosity lipophilic emollient with extremely high antioxidant properties.
In cosmetics, Caprylic / Capric Triglyceride can replace a variety of oils, used as emollient and fat-enriching agent, and can also be used as a carrier and diluent to be added to active preparations or conditioning agents such as sterols. Cosmetics using Caprylic / Capric Triglyceride can be free of antioxidants and other stabilizers without causing adverse side effects.
Caprylic / Capric Triglyceride is widely used in sunscreen oils, creams and lotions; after-sun protection creams and lotions; used in hair grooming oils, creams and head oils to make hair shiny, silky and manageable; bath oils; skin care oils and nutritional liquids; facial cleansers, creams and lotions; baby skin oils, creams and lotions; cosmetic creams, sticks, medicines. Makes the skin smooth and shiny, nutrition is easily absorbed by the skin, and plays a very good role in the uniform and delicate cosmetics.
Caprylic / Capric Triglyceride has a low viscosity and can be used as a base material for moisturizing factors, a stabilizer for cosmetics, an antifreeze agent, and a homogenizer.
Caprylic / Capric Triglyceride can also be used in lipsticks, lip balms, shaving creams, and can change the dispersion and gloss of cosmetics.
General recommended dosage: 1~15%
