Caprylic/Capric Triglycerides

Caprylic/capric
triglycerides is a lightweight emollient used in cosmetic formulations to
improve spreadability and overall formulation feel.

What is Caprylic/Capric Triglycerides & why is it used?

Caprylic/capric triglycerides is used in formulations as a base oil and carrier to improve sensory profile and formulation balance.

QUALITY MATTERS

Why specification quality matters

High-purity cosmetic grade caprylic/capric triglycerides with verified assay (99.67%) and stable oxidative profile, supporting consistent formulation performance.

Appearance Colorless to slightly yellowish clear liquid

Solubility Oil dispersible

Primary function Emollient

Use level 2.0–20.0%

Behaviour in formulations

Caprylic/capric triglycerides integrates into oil phases and improves texture and spreadability.

Sensory notes

Caprylic/capric triglycerides provides a light, smooth skin feel with good spreadability and
low greasiness. It improves application and helps balance heavier oils. Sensory outcome is formulation-dependent; bench testing is recommended.

Formulation considerations

PROCESSING

Add to oil phase. Suitable for cold and heated processing.

COMPATIBILITY

Compatible with most cosmetic ingredients
Works well with emulsifiers and oils
Suitable for a wide range of formulations

pH

Not pH dependent

FORMULATION EXAMPLES

Cream or lotion

Caprylic/capric triglycerides: 5–10%
Emollients and emulsifier system

Facial oil

Caprylic/capric triglycerides: 30–70%
Other oils and actives

Use level considerations

Recommended range 2.0–20.0%

Suggested starting level 5–10% for most formulations%

Typically used at 2–20% depending on formulation type.
