Description: Caprylic/Capric Triglycerides (CCTG) is a highly stable, lightweight, and non-greasy emollient derived from the C8–C10 fatty acids of coconut or palm kernel oil. It provides superior skin-softening properties, excellent spreadability, and a silky, smooth sensory profile. Unlike typical fractionated coconut oil, CCTG is odorless, colorless, and highly refined, making it ideal for sensitive skin and high-performance cosmetic formulations. It is also oxidative-stable, making it excellent for formulations containing antioxidants and active ingredients.
