Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride – MCT Oil

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, derived from coconut oil and glycerin, is a lightweight, non-greasy textured oil that enriches cosmetic and personal care formulations. Known also as MCT (Medium Chain Triglycerides) oil, it has a unique composition that allows for easy absorption, providing moisture without leaving a residue. The all-natural oil is a favorite among creators for its smooth, silky feel and versatility across an array of products from lotions to lip care. With its clear liquid form and stability across temperatures, it’s an essential component for enhancing product performance and user experience.
